So...I guess this is why you buy the higher-end Egg Beater pedals:

One of the wings broke off today while riding around.  The other sides work fine, so maybe I'll keep it on the trainer bike. 

I still think these pedals are the best thing for cyclocross.  Just go with the stainless steel models.

Ha, I have that same cheap one on my commuter. It's pretty rusty, so it sounds like it won't have much longer to live! The new ones are sweet; bearings on both ends instead of one bearing and a bushing.

i've seen the expensive ones break too. or bend. and come apart completely. or the spindle breaks off the crank...

hate to say it but there's no way I would run those without getting paid a ton of money to do so. the new shimanos just work so well. and even in mud, do a quick pre-release and they are golden and you won't Joey into a barrier.

I think egg beaters are the way to go. No more SPDs for me ever since I almost killed myself with them (http://www.erikv.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/10/15/Clo...). I'm sure the newer ones are better but, like you, I'm not gonna try.

Well, this is a great product! I was wondering if there is a egg beater product out there and my questions have been answered. I will be ordering this now.
