I ordered the MXR pedals, but the shop was out so they sent me these upgraded ones instead for the same price (a great deal). Anyway, those are so much better than the half platform/half shimano clip pedals I had before to try being clipped some of the time - "Sunlite Bicycle Clipless" - (knock off the Shimano PD-M324 Clipless/Clip Pedals). They are so easy to pull out now that I am always clipped even for DH and technical sections, where I originally thought I would use platforms instead so I could easily bail out if needed.
It takes a few rides (maybe dozen +) for them to loosen up where it is really easy to get out (I still catapult at times, btu never had issue still being connected, unlike my other ones) and don't come undone unless I hit my foot on a trunk or something. To get in, you roll your foot forward or back until you hear a bit of metal, then press down. Pretty easy to get in. And they look so nice and minimalist !
love those things.
Only down side: they are a rather small surface (maybe candy would be better ? I got to demo soem for a short 30 min ride, but didn't pay much attention as I was demoing the bike really). My shows are not supper stiff (I can hike with them) so I can fell a bit of a pressure point during long uphill rides - which then reminds me to use the pull and not just the push of my legs (since I'm attached) which is much more efficient anyway, so I don't mind :)Get more detail about Crank Brothers Egg Beater C Pedal.
