Love 'em, got 2 pairs.
I initially got these for my mountain bike that I fitted road tires to for commuting 3 miles to work daily. Later got a road bike and moved the pedals to that bike and ended up getting a second pair of the EB1's to put back on my mountain bike cause I had grown to hate riding without being clipped in. Admittedly, these are the first pedals I've ever owned, so I can't compare them to any others, but I like how they're lighter than pretty much any other pedal, and after a little getting used to it's easy to clip in and more often than not I clip in the first try without even looking at the pedals. The pair I put on my mountain bike to seem to have a little bit more spring tension in them, making it slightly harder to unclip, but it may just be my perception since I have to unclip a lot more often on that bike when I'm trail riding...and usually cause I'm falling.
Works for me!
I have Eggbeaters on road and commuter bikes and they have worked flawlessly for me over thousands of miles of riding. Clipping in is easy. Exit is automatic. I have experienced no hot spots or other foot issues. There is no platform on these pedals, but with stiff soled cycling shoes that's no problem. Eggbeaters are not road pedals per se, but they're so much handier for road touring than road pedals and shoes with their non-recessed cleats.
Love 'em
I LOVE the Crank Bros. CANDY pedals I've got on my mountain bike, so when I saw that all CB pedals were on sale (25% off!) at REI, I went out and got a set for my road bike that I ride only occasionally. I did a full day ride w/ friends and for the first few times in / out they were a touch stiff - but after that they were as smooth & easy as my 1 year old pedals on my other bike. I love that they're easy to enter, exit & clean, plus with such a low profile they look sharp too!
Good pedal for recent toeclip eschewer
I picked up a pair of these when I decided recently to go clipless, in part because after over 20 years of kicking over toe-clip equipped pedals I am sick of kicking over pedals, and also because of convertibility through aftermarket means to just a platform pedal (for those times you just want to pedal to the corner store in sandals). I find them very easy to unclip from when I need to unclip. I have a little more difficulty clipping in, but I think a large part of that is being rather new still to clipless pedals. I was going to go with these on one bike and then keep the other with toe clips but I have changed my mind since and I have picked up a second set of these for my other bike. I'd give these a four except for the bushing. I fell over once, forgetting I was clipped in. (It happens to nearly everyone learning to ride these pedals). The pedal on that side started rotating with a noise and not so well. I got home and took it apart. They do come apart with just a screwdriver and a socket or nut driver, so no problem there. I was able to shove it all back together with very little trouble, but it just seems that the bushing design is going to necessitate this sort of thing every now and then, resulting in more maintenance. I'll know after several more miles.
Not Durable, High Maintenance Cost
I will begin with saying that I've used Egg Beater models 1,2, & 3 for the last 3 years with heavy use, averaging about 4k-5k miles per year. I have them on my gravel bike, mtb, and fatbike. I really wanted to like them and I poured a lot of money changing all my bikes to the Crankbrothers ecosystem and now I'm regretting it. The Good: -Easy to clip in and out of -Good mud/snow shedding -Relatively Lightweight The Bad: -Durability: These pedals do not last when compared to their SPD counterparts, especially if you plan to mountain bike with them. Pedal strikes are inevitable and it's important to know that the only thing holding the pedal body onto the spindle is a measly sealed cartridge bearing. I've had the pedal fall off the spindle on several occasions, which in the right scenario, could become very dangerous. The design is unacceptable. I lost my peace of mind the first time that these pedals catastrophically failed and I never regained my confidence in them. -Maintenance Costs: These pedals can be repaired/rebuilt with the Crankbros rebuild kit ($30) which would fix the above issue of the pedal falling off the spindle. I usually have to do at least one of these per year, and once you've done it, it never lasts as long as the factory pedal bearings. -Cleat Durability: Similar to the bearing issue, the brass cleats wear out very quickly. I go through a couple pairs per year, which at $27 a pair, adds up. Other SPD competitors use steel cleats that last much longer. It is my belief that Crankbrothers specifically designs these pedals to have limited lifespan so that you have to service them and continuously pay for maintenance parts. If you ride a lot and go through 2 pairs of cleats and 1 bearing kit per year, that's $84 per year on pedal maintenance alone! I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for pedals, be it for mountain bike, gravel, etc. Whereas other pedals, such as Shimano XT or XTR, might be slightly more expensive initially, they will not require the level of maintenance that Crankbrothers do and will save you money in the long run. I think a lot of reviews are not from long time users of these pedals and that's why they get such good reviews. Ride safe friends!
broke quickly
I have used other crank brothers pedals in the past, but the last few models have been significantly harder to clip and unclip, and this pair was no exception. In addition, this latest pair broke after only four weeks of riding, when the pedal came off the spindle and couldn't be put back on.
Best affordable clipless pedal
Lightest pedal I have used, extremely smooth to clip in & clip out. Plus the small size makes it awesome for trails getting around rock gardens & tight turns where I used to bash my other pedals
Love the pedal, but not durable
Pedals work great, but the bearings are durable. After only 6 months, the bearings became loose and the pedals began to creak horribly. Go with a higher model, not these low end ones.
Easy to use
Easy to clip in and out of. Good price. I would receommend them to any road rider.
