    What are your fave pedals for cross?

    I've been using eggbeaters for the past 2 seasons, but I seem to always have an issue clipping in (I wear Sidi's) and now I'm considering something different. I hear that a lot of people use Time but I'm open to suggestion. What are you using?

    Thanks!

    I tried Time but couldn't clip in or out as easily so went back to SPDs.

    I use the "Multi release" cleat and keep the springs all the way loose. Whenever I think of it (every other race? depends whether it's wet or dry) I wipe off the pedal cleat plates with a rag and add a few drops of TriFlow.

    Now I can easily get in and out any time, anywhere. Only once on very fast, hard stutter-bumpy grass did I unclip unintentionally.

    I'm in multi-release SPDs too. I'm taking a clinic right now, and I heard a lot of people say that eggbeaters were tough to clip into/out of for cross. I see folks in Frogs, SPDs, and Looks, as well as some Eggbeaters.

    I don't think there's a "best" system - it's just whatever works for you!

    I used the Times for years, but I found that the Egg Beaters were easier to clip into and out of. So now I have been using those for a couple of years.

    I learned to MTB with SPDs, and have used those for 'cross as well. Easy to get in and out of, and I never worry about my cleat releasing before that all important dismount.

    I use Crank Bros Candys. I like a platform which the eggbeaters don't have. I don't have trouble getting in/out of them but I do know people who do..
