Time Impact Pedals?

umterp-<< I'm thinking of changing from Look to Time. I've
heard all of the great feedback about the Impacts, but now
that they have been out for a while, can anyone give me any
feedback on their durability? >><BR><BR>

Of the three we sold, all had issues. Two had loose spindles
and annoying 'clicks' early on and the other broke a piece
offa the toe. We don't sell them anymore.

they squeak. Is this true? Anything else?

Thanks in advance,

I've had mine for two months (2000km) and love them. No
problems yet, little or no squeak. Their holding power is
fantastic.

I have over 10K miles on mine and so far so good. My cleats
are wearing a bit as would be expected with the miles I have
done. I was a big fan of the old Times and the new ones are
much better.

I bought the Impact S pedals last year (was using the old
Time Race) and used them for less than a season. They
seemed great at first, but developed the loose spindle,
squeeks, and became very difficult to click in to. The
replacement cleat cost seemed excessive. The retail price
is very expensive for the weight. I bought a set of used
Speedplay X pedals from a friend and like them much better
so far. I've also heard good things about the Eggbeaters,
even for road use (would imagine you'd want a very stiff-
sole shoe, though).

I have had two pair for over a year and love them, improvement over the old
times. Hate the cleat, but only an issue when off the bike walking which is
unimportant to me. I hadn't heard of any problems until this thread. Cost of
replacement cleat is an issue (~$35).
As for eggbeaters, my wife uses them exclusively on all bikes, mtn, cross,
road. Interesting seeing a C-40 w/ eggbeaters. She rides a ton and loves
them, cleats wear a little fast but cheap. As for lack of platform, look for
the new road pedal eggbeaters coming out soon.

I wouldn't use the Eggbeaters for road use -- their
cornering clearance is very bad. Pedal in a corner and
you're gonna scrape it.

Speedplays (or my favorites Coombe) have lots more cornering
clearance.
