iv'e got egg beaters on the canondale and they've worked flawlessly for 2.5 years so one thumbs up
unfortunately the spring tension has crapped itself and you can't fix that so one thumbs down
so their score is........ 0 :laugh:

Actually not completely correct. The one up side of using CB pedals is that you will very quickly accumulate lots of spares. Have successfully replaced nearly every part on eggbeaters and Candies...

Comes this epic video:

Talk about a rough era for downhill mountain biking. It's like there racing on road bikes. High seat, wafer thin wheels. The riders did get up from a few tumbles that I wouldn't have, that's for sure.

Some people have had brilliant experiences with then, so don't sweat it. I hear they need regular maintenance, so look after them until they die, but repair time is when they may come back to bite you on the arse. You'd hope to do 1000km without an issue on any wheel, so good luck with them. Maybe look into a spare spoke or 2 in advance if you plan to keep them, rather than potentially being out of action waiting for spares to arrive.

Nah, you gotta embrace the hate. I have a set of Cobalts, they match the frame they're vaguely attached too, provide forward momentum in conjunction with pedaling and look awesome. For a fully paid up member of the wanker club like myself these are all very important things. Best of all, they're 29er. I can literally feel the hate radiating from riders on 26ers as I overtake them because their wheels are too small*

Best of all, you attract attention like shit attracts flies. Excellent when posing your bike in the pub garden post ride, less great when you're pansying your way down an unknown trail looking like an "all the gear no idea" gumby.

Happy New Year all!!
