Hahaha - me too - but I had to sacrifice one bike and spec Onza pedals! Can’t remember how long I used them for. They were great in California - rubbish in the Lake DistrictGot my vote

Onza were the first clipless pedals I ever tried. Never found them too much of an issue from memory (South Wales), but did move over to Shimano and never looked back...
They certainly suit the (non) cracking Manitou you have! What an amazing build. These looked SO cool BITD and still do
.
Almost bought a Manitou HT instead of the more common Zaskar I got, but so glad I didn't because of all cracking issues that came to light. However I did buy one of those lovely Manitou stems you have and guess what, it cracked!

To be fair - most stuff cracked back then. Especially early to mid 90's. We all went crazy lightweight - spent a small fortune on fancy cranks and brakes and stems - but a lot of it just didn't hold up that well to the abuse. Things got (mostly) better from the mid 90's onwards...Onza were the first clipless pedals I ever tried.
