"Been riding w. egg beater for 10 years. 1 and 2 and 3's. Love the way I can click into the pedal forward, backward and straight downward. Love the fact that the pedal cannot clog in mud and snow. The inner bearing, though, have a limited life span and you have to accept to mess with tools and stuff to keep these pedals running for more than a season (depending on the climate you live in - I live in Denmark which have a very long and wet winter season). Furthermore the floating sensation (think stepping on ice cubes with a pretty undefined click-in) of the clamps part the waters: Some live a happy life with these pedals others loathe them. I love them with their weaknesses. Silly as I am I even think they look better than the rest of the competition :-/"

"Amazing traction on pavement and in dry, wet, loose on hard, rooty surfaces. Super effective rounded profile with a lot of low knobbies, low weight. Pretty short life span, though, definately not a training tyre, not very good for tubeless ready set-up due to very thin side walls with tons of micro holes."
Pros: Lightweight, super grip, super traction
Cons: Wears Out Easily, not really tlr

"Jockey wheels like these rolls well with the chain for a couple of months but they wear out fast. Don't expect more than 2-3 months life during winter. If you don't take care of them suddenly you will be running with tooth picks on your bike. Lots of slack, Lots of play and not much chain control. But as long as the bearings are new and te teeth are okay these jockey wheel are okay"
Pros: Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive, Not Enough Features, Wears Out Easily

"I have ridden these tyres on dirt and rocks, wet and dry, grass and roots. Sizes 2.25"(rear) and 2.35" (rear). I have used them for XC marathon training/races. For me they work best as a rear tyre as the front tyre tend to slip in curves. They have excellent traction in the rear end. I noticed a strong tendency in the front tyre to slip "politely" on the side knobs - both on grass and dirt. They are a bit heavy, but on the other hand I haven't had punctures with them - which is a super plus in my book. They seal up very well on a No Tubes Crest 29" rim, using different kinds of sealant."
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Rugged, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive, heavy

"I bought a Niner Jet9 RDO e in January 2012 which was pre-installed w. BB30 press fit bearings. In just one season I used 2 sets of chrome steel and 1 ceramic bearings on a XC carbon hardtail. 1) BB30 is hard to mount precisely and you have to use special tools plus a hammer AND expert skills to get old parts out and news parts into the BB. 2) The life span of this product is ridiculous. It's designed for pro riders with mechanics and big sponsors. Weekend warriers look elsewhere it's not for us.
I ended up mounting my bike with an adaptor to run old school threaded BSA and it's so much better than BB30."

"Really nice autumn/ spring gloves which comes a bit big to my XL hand (1/2 size, surprise!). Excellent quality which will last a long time and can take a lot of dirt, washing and more dirt. I like hi-wiz colours but it's a matter of taste."

"I ride XC, no jumping, no DH. This set was mounted on a carbon 29er hardtail. After just 2000K's the bearings was loose. After 2500 K's the looseness in the bearings was noticeable when pedalling and the set finally came off. Compared to Shi. Hollowtech II this seems a little too short life span for a GXP BB cup. It's cheap, though. GXP (non pressfit, old school BSA) is very easy to install and runs smoothly when new."

"I use this a tool for carrying post, books from the library and - sometimes - a little shopping from supermarkets. It holds a lot for it's size and sits well on my back. Lots of different pockets (from cell phone pocket to. large room which will hold a notebook plus charger. it was fairly cheap but I think it will perform well over a long periode of time. I have used it for plus 2 months and it keeps it's shape niceliy and though it is made of soft nylon fabric it haven't lost it's original shape."

"I have used more rear lights than I care to remember. This one is by far the strongest and most impressive light I have had. To put it a phrase: YOU WILL BE SEEN WITH THIS ON YOUR BIKE.
The on/off button is a little hard to find when you wear the light on your back, using the clip, but for MTB it's not wise to mount the rear light on the seat stay b/c of mud and dirt: It covers the light.
The plastic looks exactly as cheap as any other chinese light - but this is supposed to be an american design - and I am a little concerned about how good it will withstand my (ab)use during long winter rides. I bought it with a discount, otherwise it's a little expensive, I think.
Three light modes: Changing flash and INZANE and steady."

will these fit roadbike
Top 1000 Contributor
Yes, definately! I've been using egg beaters on road bikes for more than 10 years. They are not the least as robust and well defined as Look-pedals - think stepping on ice cubes with an undefined click-in - but some people actually like the freedom of extra movement on your feet/lower leg/kneees that these pedals allows for.

Is it OK to swap a square taper 68mm bb for a GXP (with sram crankset)?
Top 1000 Contributor
Yes, you can, as long as BB is threaded. But you need to use the extra shims for SRAM /Truvativ chainset which comes as part of the package.

What is E-Fit?
Top 1000 Contributor
Some frames don't have front derailleur braces and no room for FD bands. E-fit is made for those frames and is a metal piece w. attachment for FD. It is tightened to the right (drive) side of the BB.

Can you fit mudguards to this bike?
Top 1000 Contributor
I've mounted Crud Road Racer Mudguard Set on a size small frame. I had to downsize the tyres from 28C to 23C to do this. The only issue now is the tip of the front mud guard which cannot run freely on the tyre. I had to neglect this part but this is really not a problem ;-)

Gearing and set-up?
I'm after a free-wheel set-up and brakes across front and back. How easy is this bike in switching between a fixed gear and single speed set-up? Something a novice could do with minimal fuss?
Top 1000 Contributor
Yes. You only need a 15mm wrench key. But remember to practice fixie-style before you venture into high speed riding.
