    Favoriate Trail:Oak Mountain
    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Price Paid: $100.00
    Weaknesses:Small body, weak rentention springs
    Similar Products Used:SPD, Time ATAC Roc
    Bike Setup:Gary Fisher Rig w/ Ti fork and Brooks Saddle
    Bottom Line:Initially these pedals started out wonderful they held well with a good amount of float. The new retention bars on these pedals bent within the first couple of months that I road them. This led to very very weak retention and me unintentionally pulling out of my pedals. Also the smaller platform lead to some foot numbness after longer rides. I bought the new ATAC ROC pedals and these seem to have remedied all of the above problems and I cannot say enough good things about them. Avoid the older ATAC models and buy the new ROCs

    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Price Paid: $75.00
    Strengths:Big pedal body, strong, reliable, good float, easy of entry and exit, relatively light (337gr)
    Weaknesses:They could be cheaper
    Similar Products Used:Time Atac, Allium and XS; Shimano 535, 520, 540 and XT
    Bike Setup:Specialized Stumpjumper M4 HT. Fox Fork. XT-XTR Drivetrain.
    Bottom Line:Great pedals, perhaps the best pedals I've used. Reliable, strong and has a good float. Work perfect in dry, mud. I hope they'll last at least 2 o 3 years. Absalon and Hermida run in Time pedals, ¿why you shouldn't? ;)

    Favoriate Trail:downtown during rush hour
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $100.00
    Purchased At:Performance
    Strengths:Strong, reliable, and excellent debris clearing. This is my second favorite pedal. The ATAC being my current favorite for its larger pedal body. This pedals performs exactly like the ATAC with the exception of being lighter, more easily maintained, and the weakness below.
    Weaknesses:The pedal body is smaller than the ATAC series, which provides for a slightly less comfortable platform for failed cleat engagement stomping in a mounting/accelerating situation. This is also a little less even for cleat wear support. There seems to be a little more pronation (in the case of my cleat wear) possible with worn equipment than the comparable ATAC pedals.
    Similar Products Used:Various from each of: Shimano mtb, Time road/mtb, Speedplay road/mtb
    Bike Setup:Bianchi Axis, 105, Mavic openpro (28/32), 700x32C knobbies for off, and 23c Gatorskins for paved.
    Bottom Line:Great pedals, if you have a choice between this anything else (excepting the ATAC), this should be your preference. If you need road pedals, I would have to go with Keo plastic pedals for race where durability is not a concern.

    Favoriate Trail:The one I'm on
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $80.00
    Purchased At:BlueSky Cycling
    Strengths:Size of platform, ease of entry, sturdy construction, great float, solid feeling while your pedaling. Recommended for anyone who wants a quality pedal
    Weaknesses:cleats, see bottom line
    a little pricey (but what isn't)
    Similar Products Used:None, first clipless
    Bike Setup:Trek 7300 Basically stock (nice bike)
    Bottom Line:I love the ease of entry and the solid feel you get while riding. The cleats are tricky. They HAVE to be free from grabbing into the bottom of your shoes to release properly. When you install the cleats as is they dig into your shoes and are to close. If you back the cleats off they move around and are unstable. Fixed the problem by grinding the little points off the cleats and making a pair of shims to fit between the little channels on the bottom. I used an aluminum shelf bracket I had and it worked perfectly (think you Mr. Dremel). They now perform splendidly and I am very happy with them. If any one is interested email me and I will gladly share more info on the shims. 4 flaming chilis only for the cleats. Otherwise 5
