Time ATAC XS pedals... worn too soon ?
Hi All..
Just wondering if any other time atac XS user out there is facing with the same issue as I am.
These pedals are only 1.5 years old, my right foot is normally the foot that I unclip 99% of the time and because of that the pedal have developed a worn/concave section on the main body. They are quite loose now to the point where they can unclip whilst pedalling hard, especially when you're pulling the cranks up with your hamstring. I've demoted them to commuting duties.
My other pedal, the full aluminium version which is at least 10 years old (from my previous life as a rider) is still going strong and still clip/unclip as it's supposed too and not loose at all. The only downside to them is that they are quite heavy compared to the XS. The full alloy version is also half the price of the XS.
Does the carbon version develop the same issue ?? I don't mind upgrading to the carbon version if they are more durable.
I've also just noticed that TIME just released a new version of the ATAC pedals. Should I stick with TIME or look at other alternative ?

I have a set of time atac aluminums if you want them, brand new, still in box.... PM me for details (I'm in Sydney)
I've had mine for about 3 years and I don't have that issue. The only time I come unclipped unintentionally is when my cleats are worn and due for replacement.
yeah looks like this is not a common issue for other TIME XS pedallers
Posted this on rotorburn as well and some have their pedals last up to 6 years.
My cleats looks fine, still snug and doesn't have much play on my full alloy XS pedals.
Oh well, I still love them nevertheless and will probably get the newer version when they're widely available.
