I'm not a professional by any means but from my experience I hate egg beaters for pedals. I have these things they call campus pedals (i think) on one side they are a regular pedal on the other they'll snap into a cleat. I love em. Probably not the coolest cycling pedal out there but I love em.

I've busted my butt several times while wearing them. If I just have to run out to the store or something I just use regular shoes and the flat side of the pedal. Going to work or something I just carrying my regular shoes in the bag and use the cleats. I need to get a pair of MTB shoes.
Psh... clips and straps for me. Keep your SPD. I want to ride in shoes that are comfortable for walking around later. The cleats may be in the sole, but they are still stiff soled.I'm retro grouchy like that.
it wasnt my pedals, it was the bottom bracket its all fixed now, bought a new rear disc as its warped and got some new lock on grips, not odi though as they only had them in silver the ones i got lock on near the gears and have great grip

Yep, bicycle disk's REALLY don't like heat After a heavy breaking session, give them 5 mins to cool of mate, and you'll be fine
