Which pedals?

I'm not sure if eggbeater cleats are compatible with road shoes -- if I had to guess I'd say not with most (more traditional road cleats have three screws spaced in a triangle with a wide base -- the eggbeater cleats are more like spd mountain cleats, two screws set close together). I'm sure someone else will give a definitive answer though. I'd worry about the slipperiness of eggbeater cleats on road shoes if they are compatible. Everyone hates the "duck waddle" you're forced to do with road shoes and cleats, but the big road cleats do give you a little traction when otherwise slick road soles would have none. (I use road shoes for my road pedals and mountain shoes for my eggbeaters).

Hmm Im thinking they probably are compatible. I have egg beaters on my mountain bike and Quattros on my road bike (both pedals are made by Crank Brothers) and the cleats are pretty much the same. I can clip my mountain bike shoes into my Quattro road pedals but Crank Brothers recommends shaving a little off your mountain bike shoe to make connection between the shoe and pedal a little easier. The Quattros are basically an egg beater with a platform around them. I love my Crank Brothers pedals.

Huh. Interesting. It makes sense that the cleats for all of the Crank Bros pedas would be the same I guess. Do you use road shoes with your quattros... and if so, is the combination really slippery ? I'm curious about this now.

Yep I use road shoes with my Quattros and don't find them slippery. If you check out the link below you will see that they have a platform piece that surrounds the cleats and I think this helps.
