Time Xpresso 8 Carbon Pedals

Caveat that I've only ridden on these a few weeks. Rating is for design and functionality, not durability, which I don't yet know. I've been a loyal Time user since their first model because I love the feel of the float and have had zero knee problems. I'm replacing first generation iClics because the cage on one pedal broke after about four years of use. These are a nice evolutionary improvement on the iClic concept - super easy to clip into, and the larger platform gives a more solid feel. The rapid wear on the cleats continues to be an issue, but it's become easy to find genuine replacement cleats online for about $25, so it's not too expensive to keep a spare on hand.

After only two months and about 500 miles the cleats are so worn I will need to buy new ones soon. But worse, today the right pedal broke completely. The pin that holds the carbon blade (the spring on this clip-less pedal) on the right pedal popped out and there is no way to get it back in so the pedal is done (and I am a mechanically-inclined person, these pedals are not meant for DIY repair). I am going to contact Time about the warranty, supposedly its 24 months. I may update the review based on the outcome of that, but still, if you read the reviews out there it looks like durability and cleat wear has been a problem for Time pedals lately, so I would go with another brand. Too bad really because the pedal is really light, and the float on is really nice. I am worried other pedals won't be this comfortable. But buy another pedal, the durability just isn't there. I am going to try Look Cleo next.

Love these pedal. Had a pair of iClics and broke one in a run in with a boxer (long and scary story), bought these as a replacement and the improvements are very noticeable. Lighter, easier clip in, And look pretty cool on my bike. Very happy after a thousand miles on them.

Easy clip in and twist out. Light weight. Attractive design. Unlike other pedals, these are not rotating upside down due to unbalanced weight front-to-back.

Very good product, very light. Riding is a pleasure with this pedal. Comfortable and very good shape. I like it.
