  I spotted a @31trum all the way out in Horsham! Nice to see a fellow LFGSS member out in the sticks (although I was in full roadie mode) 👋

  Sorry for exhuming a long-buried thread, but are there LFGSS people still active in Horsham? I moved here a few years ago and have just started riding my fixed gear bike again.

  I haven't had any of the issues with Egg Beaters (v2, with Premium cleats) you mentioned, Jezston. I guess YMMV ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  I just like to be able to clip-in without worrying about the pedal's orientation. They're fine if you're not un-clipping at intersections, but my old commute took me down Embankment and it didn't feel safe setting off in heavy traffic sometimes.

  Having said that, I ride SPD-SL on my road bikes and prefer them in pretty much every other way.

  I used to use Eggbeaters ahh hahaha what a fuckwit I was.

  How so? Seems like pretty strong words over someone's choice of pedals?

  and you can use them with most SPD shoes.

  Having said that, I had to carve a channel in the rubber pads on the soles of my Giro Republics to make room for the pedals' axels.

  I've tried SPDs, SPD-SLs (do not use these fixed please), straps, cages and platforms and finally settled on Egg Beaters as the best all-rounder for riding fixed. You can clip in from any direction (any side of pedal, toe first / heel first / just mash your foot down hard), I haven't had a single unexpected un-clipping in the 3 years I've been riding them fixed and you can use them with most SPD shoes.

  Fair enough. They're being incredibly slow to respond either way.
