Support Mountain

Shimano or Egg Beaters for my Mountain Bike?

I am looking to upgrade the pedals on my Giant Rainier MTB. I want to support my local shop so this is what I have to choose from in my price range:

-Shimano ($80) PD M540
-Crank Brothers ($80) Egg Beater
-Wellgo ($45) WAM something

I am also looking at getting Pearl Izumi Vagabond Shoes for about $75 at the same shop.

What do you suggest? And are these ok prices?

Hey,

Just so you know, the Wellgo WAM’s use an SPD cleat – in other words, a non-shimano SPD pedal

Personally, I used Shimano SPD’s (xt) for about 6-7 years, and eventually got sick of my cleats and pedals getting packed with mud on the trails…

I switched to Time, and love them!!!! The cleat took a while to get used to, but eventually, once it worked in – they are so smooth!

Eggbeater cleats, and entry are very very similar to that of time.

With that style cleat and pedal, you really feel your cleat engage with the pedal (which is really nice compared to SPD) and the cleat has a really low profile so it never gets packed with mud.

There are good and bad with each…

Eggbeater: really feel the engagement, cleats stay unclogged, really smooth and light, BUT can’t adjust release tension, hard to get used to.

Shimano: easy to learn with, can change release tension, very universal, used in spinning classes, BUT clog with mud, engagement not smooth.

If you haven’t had clipless before, I recommend the Shimano.

Lastly, I have the Pearl Izumi Vipers, and I love them!
