Lightweight SPD clip-in pedals?

I've always ridden eggbeaters, so naturally I'm considering buying the eggbeater 11's. But, are there any SPD pedals that are comparable in weight? Sounds funny, but I'd like the have SPD's so I can train in the off-season in spinning classes. All of the places have spd clip in's only.

Thanks but they're still almost 100g heavier than the eggbeater 11's 0

Yup but they are lighter than XTR and mega cheap.

I use those, not Eggbeater weight but only 30g or so more.0 -

Now that's what I'm talking about!
How's the performance of these. Have you had any problems? 0 -
I have the previous model with the gold Ti spindles, not had any problems at all. I haven't even got round to using the brass (iirc) cleats and they haven't really worn. I have heard of people having trouble with bearing wear and grease drying out so whenever I remember I just pump fresh grease through them. Think I've had them about 3>4 years now.
The clip in/out performance is easily as good as the 520/540 and XTR pedals I also use on other bikes, infact I'd say the clip in seems slightly more positive and secure than those.0 -
I had 4 pairs of the older Xpedos - the bush in the body was harder than the axle, so they'd develop irrepairable play. Always replaced under warranty though!
I'd sooner use Egg Beaters. If you're spending £300 on pedals surely you can get some shoes for spinning!?0 -
Or take your pedals to the spinning class? The one I went to was fine with me swapping pedals.0
