I didn’t know eggbeaters had different types of cleats so I don’t know which ones I had. I found it was just practice, but I did like them. I had Look Keo cleats and I never liked them. My bike shop recommended eggbeaters as an easier option. I felt much safer clipping in and out.
I liked them because you could ride when you got going again without clipping in. It gave me time to clip in and not rush. In the end it became second nature.
After a few years I moved back to road cleats.
