Huh, I didn't know Eggbeaters were considered "mountain" pedals. Learn something new every day!

I have Eggbeaters on my road bikes, and my husband has Candys (which are Eggbeaters with platforms) on his road bikes, and we like them a lot. We both use shoes with recessed cleats (aka mountain shoes) but that's a personal preference - I know people who use road shoes w. eggbeater peadals.

aka_kim also has eggbeaters on her road bike, and (iirc) she has road shoes.

If you hit "search" button in the upper right corner and type eggbeaters into the search box, you'll find a lot of posts by myself and others about them. I think they're great.
