Just been out on the bike again for a longer ride, and after having adjusted the cleats. The eggbeaters that I replaced my clips and straps with, I think are the best pedals for riding fixed in my opinion as
1) (afaik) they are the only 4 sided pedal on the market,
2) you can clip into them backwards (ie, back of cleat first followed by the front),
3) they're much easier and quicker to clip in to than using clips and straps
4) you get a nice solid "CLUNK" when you clip in
5) even when the reduced release angle is set up on the cleats, I've had no problems with accidental unclipping, and they're fine if you need to make a quick release
6) they look much cooler than anything on the market :)
I've been using Egg beaters for about 3-4 years on my mtbs, and they make so much sense on a fixed gear, I totally recommend them!
