"This review was for the Eggbeater 3 pedals. I love them, just wish the cleats lasted longer."danimal123
Ease of use
Very easy system to get used to; the 4-sided entry makes clipping in a breeze.
Quality of Construction
Very little wear after a few thousand miles (on the pedals).
Fit
Only one size pedal. If you don't know how to adjust cleats, get a knowledgable person to help you.
Comfort
Very comfortable to walk in (in MTB shoes).
Adjustability
Cleats are as adjustable as any other 2 bolt system. The cleats can be swapped for 15 degree or 20 degree exiting, but the pedal to cleat tension cannot be regulated.
Durability
Pedals are 5-star, cleats are a 3 (see below). The pedals are dirable and rebuildable.
Value
Good bang for the buck, not too expensive, but the cleat cost brings this down.
Appearance
Funky!
Customer Service
Never had to deal w/ CBros.
Performance
Nearly flawless. I use these strictly on my road bike, and w/ stiff MTB shoes have had no hot spot issues (the shoe has more to do w/ this than the pedal, despite what folks think). I even did a 3-day, 630 mile ride w/ these and they performed well.
Strengths
Light, shed dirt/rain easily, cool-looking, easily serviced, not too expensive, very well-made.
Weakness
MTB pedal, so it may not be everyone's cup of tea. The cleats are made of a soft alloy and wear out VERY fast, and unfortunately there's no aftermarket supplier, so youhave to buy the CBros. cleats ($20 a set).

Ease of installation
Doesn't need a pedal wrench, just a large-ish allen wrench (can't remember the size) that you probably already have. Easy install.
