Well after the pain in the ass getting the "fits all shoes" cleats to fit my Time shoes...(cutting, grinding and bleeding). We decided that a New Years Day ride was in order. About 40 degrees out with a nice breeze of about 15-20mph, great weather for riding. The thing about the new Time pedals is that I did not notice that they were new. Felt just like my Time Titan Mag pedals (and are really not much lighter in the hand scale). I guess that is good - didnt notice anything by feel. Easy to get into, out of and all. I do have the springs all set as tight as they would go...I hope that the springs do not get slack with Time (pun maybe intended, hell I dont know). The cleats are much easier to walk on than the old Time cleat - but who cares about that really?

Day two...New Years Day - was about 33 degrees and raining...dropped car off at the YMCA, went home and got on the bikes for a 90 minute ride that would end with a long sit in the steam room. Same feel as the day before - BUT - when these pedals get wet the squeek like a crushed rat...piss me off. Could not get the damn squeek to go away, every pedal stroke, squeek - squeek, squeek, squeek...drive me about batty. I guess that is what happens when you rub wet plastic against we plastic (call it carbon composite or "space age polymer" or what ever the hell you want - it is plastic).

Getting harder and harder for me to know why these new Time pedals are any better than my older Time Titan Mag pedals that are BOMB PROOF...huh....
