Lots of folks swear by them. They were definitely conceived as a MTB pedal, which matters to some road riders, less to others. The general philosophy behind differentiating road and MTB pedals lies in the restrictions tied to the latter: MTB pedals have got to be engineered with a resistence to dirt in mind, as well as with smaller cleats to accomodate the studs found on MTB shoes. For some manufacturers, increased durability is a factor as well.The Egg Beater is a good example of a succesful MTB design -- it's spartan, small, tough, and extraordinarily simple. Mud stands little chance.Originally posted by whalen83

Check out Cesar Grajales's Klein and notice the eggbeaters. At least one good road rider uses 'em!
