Love it
replace my Shimano PD-A530 with this eggbreater 3. At first and second ride, clipping in feels harder than SPD but release is lot easier and quicker. after more ride i was getting use to it. overall, I Love it!

Update 5/9/2012
The pedal hold up excellent after 3,000+ miles on them. Believe it or not? I am getting a new set for my new road bike. Just getting into road bike this year so, I have to buy a pedal and after I try these road shoes, I design I go with MTB shoe instead. First I already have a expensive MTB shoe, second I getting use to the egg beater. and the last they are so light and looking cool :) I have about 300 miles on my new egg beater on the road bike and they just feel great!

Minimalism doesn't get much better
I upgraded to the Eggbeaters from Candy 2's, and while there isn't a LOT of difference between them, their differences are enough to be appreciated. While the Candies are basically an Eggbeater with a wing platform around them, I don't find that I miss the platform at all now. The Eggbeaters are even more minimalist than the Candies and should shed mud/grit even easier. They're a tiny bit lighter, but I'm not really concerned about that. Getting in and out of the Eggbeaters is about the same as with my old Candies, but since I installed the shim this time, they're even easier now.

My only complaints: the left cleat is malformed and allows a bit of vertical play that is felt whilst pulling on the up-stroke. Also, the anodizing on the spring is a nice deep red, but the anodizing on the dust caps is more of a raspberry color. Not a big deal, but noticeable.

Aside from those two details, I love these pedals.
Took a while but I love them
PROS:
These weigh half of SPDs. After steel spindles were swapped for Ti it was even more weight savings and could really feel the weight loss when spinning. Look nice.

CONS: I always had the SPDs set at the easiest release. Since they are not adjustable they were initially way too tight for me. Took a Long time to get used to these but now that they are broken in I wouldn't trade them for anything. Seem sturdy. I've hit a few rocks pretty hard and so far no issues.
