BMC - tickling your fancy?

I rode Crank Bros pedals (not the eggbeaters, but the ones with the same mechanism enclosed in a small platform) for quite a while and never had a problem with unintentional unclipping other than with really worn cleats.

The lack of resistance to float does make it very easy to unclip if you let your feet point other than forwards, but that's pilot error IMO. OTOH, I'm more or less a non-skidder except in dire emergency - I can well imagine that they wouldn't stand up to persistent yanking as well as other designs.

Its the lack of platform that causes them to be a bit unsuitible to fixed riding . Both me and Tilover use quattros fixed without complaint. But you can clip out of standard eggbeaters too easily (had them on a commuter bike for some years). I dont skid, but I do ride down steep mountian roads at mega RPMs. I would'nt want to do that with eggbeaters.
