All my mtn bikes, all my fixies and my cyclocross bike have Ritchey SPD pedals on them. I've riden Ritchey now for over 10 years. I have riden alot of single track, done alot of races, and commuted alot of miles with them, and I have to say that I have not had one bit of trouble with them. They work well in all kinds of conditions, very rarely do I have trouble getting clipped in, and most importantly they are kind to my knees. Some of the pedals that I ride today are still the originals that I bought 10 plus years ago. And as far as cleats go I very rarely have to replace them. So, to me, the Ritchey pedals are the way to go. That's the forcmeisters 2cents.
