Eggbeaters & Trail Skill

[Miranda]

Thx ladies for your additonal thoughts. Still reading and pedal shopping yet. I'm on a shoe search too. So, these comments about footwear with the eggbeaters are helpful also. The deal is, if I switch up the pedals on both my bikes from the current all mtb spd set up, I need to get some diff shoes spd to wear to spin class. I'm at the gym enough normally that I don't want to switch cleats ever time. Spd cleats on the spin bike shoes would be worth it. I think the lbs guy set my release angle on trial at 15 degrees on the eggbeaters. He thought it would be better for me to be able to get out "sooner" vs later. It felt about right to me.

I use the egg beater SL on my cyclocross bike and the candy Ti on my mountain bike. I started with the egg beaters on my mtb but decided that having a platform would be better on the mtb, since I like to do long rides.

I love the SIDI dominator shoe, but I have a wide flat foot. The shoe has been durable and comfortable. After getting wet many times, they still are in good condition and they don't get stinky.
