Well...they modified their bearing configuration so it didn't have the
first-gen wear problems. Other than that, the concept has been
remarkably stable. I suspect that the basic steel Egg Beater still uses
the same tooling as day one, unless it has worn out.
What has changed is that an endless stream of new pedal bodies that go
around the Egg Beater part are now on offer.
