[DVBC] easiest MTB pedals?

[Doug Bower]

Eric,

I have Speedplay Frogs on all of my bikes and wouldn't use anything else
but Frogs.  Bob Martin borrowed a pair from me a few years ago; he liked
them so much he has them on all of his bicycles now.  They are the
easiest pedal to clip and unclip, they have a grease fitting
preinstalled into them so they can be serviced without taking them
apart.

Subject: [DVBC] easiest MTB pedals?

hey all,

my son is getting a new road bike, and is interested in clipless pedals.

    he's decided that MTB-style shoes would be the best for him, what 
with ease of walking around and all, so for pedals that means usually 
2-hole SPD-style cleats.

so i wanted to ask the group about which pedals are the easiest to clip 
in and out of.    i was looking at some pedals on-line, and there are 
some crank brothers pedals that look like they have a large platform, 
which might be useful if evan wants to take a spin with regular shoes, 
but i have no experience with clipping in and out, and i don't know 
anybody who uses them.

what about speedplay frogs?  i think i have seen a few of them on DVBC 
bikes.

any other suggestions?   the main criterion is ease of clipping in and 
out.   the second one would be ease of use with regular shoes.    i have

worn street shoes with my look pedals before and it's do-able, but they 
have a bigger area than some of these MTB pedals.

thanks in advance for your time and advice,

-eric
