4 February 2009 - 2:09It really is that bad!

There is no doubt that idle hands are the tools of the devil.

I have decided at this point that I am going to change pedals. Not just one set, but most of them. I’ve been a stalwart supporter of TIME pedals for the last 11 years, in fact, my very first set still lives on my Karate Monkey, still functioning perfectly. Having invested quite a few of my own personal drachma into a pedal inventory over the years has made it very hard for me to just up and switch pedals like so many dirty underpants, yet here I am. I’m not 100% into this switch, as I have yet to even use these upstart Crank Brothers pedals.

Jury still out, but…

…pedals rotate too…

  1. I am not sure which is more sad…the fact that I am also riding my same TIME ATAC WC pedals from 1999 or that I am also looking at changing both to the white Candy’s and Scrub rotors.

  2. Not worth it to make the switch IMO. I tried it last season and went back to my trusty old Times.

    I went back to TIMEs as well. I have bent or broken 3 sets of Eggbeater-based pedals. They feel similar to TIME pedals, but not as solid. Stick with the TIMEs
