Great feedback! Thanks!

I'm not sure if you're referring to the Crank Brothers style of pedals. They have a version with a platform, with the eggbeater in the center. I have them on my road bike. On top of the pros Liza mentioned, they don't float too much, and are pretty stable. Also, you can wear regular shoes and ride too. I really like mine.

Yes, it is the Candy SL that I have been referring to. I'm looking forward to getting them.

I'm hearing that hotspots are NOT a problem with this pedal, particularly compared to SPDs.

Any feedback on this?

I only get hotspots if i wear too thick socks, and even then, nothing major (i don't even remember any instances...), i do know what hotspots are because i always get hotspots when running (sometimes even walking)

many of my roadbiking friends use these. I saw some mtbkers give not so good reviews, but thats coz the pedals got bashed against rocks and jammed etc... but i hardly think you'll be doing that. For road cycling or regular/as opposed to tough trails etc purposes these do really well.

Oh, my review applies to eggbeaters, not candies.

I love eggbeaters, but I love float. They don't seem very floaty compared to my speedplay x2 road pedals. what is great is that they have four points of entry...no looking down or kicking the pedal over the engage. Just put your foot on it and you click right in. They are a good commuter pedal, good mountain pedal...probably would be a good road pedal too.

I wonder if there is more float on the plain eggbeaters vs the Candy SL eggbeaters? I too love float, and used to love my speedplay frogs, but the unpredictable release problems are ridiculous.

I'm hoping the Candy SLs have at least a bit more float than SPDs.
