Review on Red Spring Eggbeater 1 by George Saunier

Revainrating 3 out of 5

SPD on it, can't buckle up to save my life

I got the base model because I've heard great things about the platform in general. I figured I'd pack them in my suburban car when driving through Chicago in the winter, so why even pick 2/3/11 if I don't know if I'll like them? Here's my dilemma, just when I think I know these pedals. no I thought they were easier to snap into than SPDs (which aren't a problem) since they are 4-way, but I keep missing the out-of-line catch point and then spend the next 5-10 seconds putting my shoe on the Move pedals forward/backward and press down to lock. However, once I squeeze them, these pedals are great, feeling almost as solid as my Dura-Ace 9100 SPD SL road pedals and, to my surprise, significantly more attractive than my PD-M9100 SPD pedals. I've driven it 47 miles (to/from work) so far and I feel like an amateur at every stop light. I very much doubt I can return them now.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
