Lifespan of Crank Bros?

[Triskeliongirl]

My husband used to use egg beaters. Twice it happened that the spring that holds the 4 platforms broke, and he couldn't clip in while out on the road. Both times we called crank brothers, and they had us send them in and they were repaired at no charge. But after having to pedal home unclipped on an egg beater twice, he replaced them with frogs (and he is not a heavy rider, 160lb, 6'1") and has never had any problems with them.

But which Eggbeaters was he using?

I have a pair of egg's as well and have had a problem with mine in the past year where a spring will spring wrong and I can't clip back in. It's a weird situation with them. We were going to send them in (and still should) but dh was about to go on a long bike trip and while training with a brand new pair of egg's he crashed (he was ok) but bent it. So He had to buy a new pair right away. We sent in the bent one and they rebuilt it for us so now I have a new pair. But my old pair was only like 3 years old. So they are ok but the service with crank bro's is good. I like that.

Just the standard original egg beater (not candies). It was a while ago so I don't think there were many models available then. They were very light, I think they were titanium but not sure.
