Looks great, I like it. Which reminds me, I need to order some new road pedals.
Man I've been surfing the web for over 10 years and that page managed to frustrate me in about 20 seconds.
why is that?
Well first of all, the main flash page has a "tabbed" look menu. When the flash page first opens, it looks like you are in the "products" tab, even though you really aren't. So since there is nothing to select there, it looks like that new road pedal is their only product. I dunno, I just don't like the navigation... that doesn't mean it's bad though, I'm certainly no authority on the subject.
I'm getting that new road pedal. My old Speedplays are trashed.
I think the problem is that they have used tiny text for the nav (big no-no), and many other features of the site. Designers love tiny text cuz it looks neat and fits anywhere - but they often use it at the expense of usibility.
Aside from the tiny text problem, that's really a pretty good site compared to the rest of the bike industry.

I haven't been able to justify yet buying real road pedals and shoes. What are the advantages? I've heard stiffer soles, but my Sidi Dominators are pretty damn stiff.Heidi said:
Unless you are serious about road racing and doing crits there is no advantage. I have used my eggbeater/dominator combo on the road for years. An added perk is that you look more punk, further exasperating the roadies when you out ride them.Echo said:
It would suck to show up in full roadie gear and get owned. At least when I'm wearing a MTB helmet, gloves and shoes they expect to spank me, and it's all the sweeter when they look back at the top of a climb and I'm right there 
So you swap out your pedals every time you ride?
No, dillhole, I have Eggbeaters on both bikes.Heidi said:
I have like 5 or 6 pairs of Time ATACs. I have no idea how I ended up with so many but at least I have enough for whatever bike needs some at any given time

- I tried roadie shoes and Speedplay and Looks. They both sucked for me.
Hmmm, any chance you guys would have some of those old water bottle cages lying around?Carbon Fetish said:
neaky: Btw, should I really send my original EB's in to you guys to have them retro'd to the new bushing/seal design?
Thanks brah!
I'll be in the office Weds. Give me a call.
Thanks! Will do.Carbon Fetish said:
wait, you work for CB, CF? good, then you can tell me why 2 pairs of Quattros that i ordered back in Feb were never delivered, right?
nah, just kidding. i don't know where you sit within the company, but TX4000 appreciates the help from you guys. i just wish i could get more riders to realize how badass Eggs are.
