"pass the 'beaters"

[flyingdutch]

Got me sum luverly eggbeater pedals today.
Spent a couple of minutes farting about trying to engage as ther
apparently had to be a bit of foreplay to earn their respect :D :D
:D , but once i got in and and out a few times they were/are
cracker!

Quite easy to get in and way easy to get out of. Very solid to pedal o
(much to my surprise durig the test ride) and stomping gave a ver
reassuring feeling. You can flip the cleat to give you more/less floa
and i decided to have it on the more liberal setting to start with.
Even tho they have quite a bit of movement laterally you still fee
more 'solidly anchored'. hard to explain, but there you have it. As it
on the fixed (must come up with a name for it) there is a psychologica
(if nothing else) feeling of greater clearance too. Cleats are easie
(no noise/scratching) to walk on too. you can walk on spds pretty eas
but running is a bit iffy.
Anyway. love em. the fixie is about as minimal as its gonna get (
shall keep the 'chicken sticker on. those brakes are ther to stay, m
thinks

Over the old enemy, the bluebloods from princess park no less

dutch, nice move, i always thought eggbeater would look well schmick o
my fixie and you have given me justification to buy some new pedal
(might give the lady friend some time to allow the C-40 purchase t
sink in though....). Where did you get them from?, how much?
