I just clipped in w eggbeaters last night for the first time ...did a little intense single track night ride....

Definitely noticed more power from up motion of pedal, but like they all said, I fell over a good 10 times!! Almost always on my left side!

I wanna try them on my own bike and see if it makes a difference. I tried them on a smaller framed cannondale with the single front fork and the whole thing was a disaster haha

At first I hated them,previous bike set up was more the problem than the pedals though. Its easier in all aspects clipped in,climbing,downhill and maneuverability. Never know till you try it.

That's exactly the bike I have. Does that make a difference being clipped in? The lefty or size of frame?

you should be fine if your used to it. Its more that it just felt different to me to start then i had to deal with the clip ins haha

So far its been great. I dont really like the elastomer fork. The rebound is fast for me. I plan on upgrading to a air/ oil fork so i can dial it in. I picked it up on clearance also. Figured it would be good to get me started and when I upgrade my son can have it.
