Teamsloan Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Everyone I know who has times (road and mtb) love them. That's why I'm curious. I've always been a SPD guy with no knee issues, so I'm happy. But maybe I could be happier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotta great aspects of times - bigger platform, mud/debris clearing, float - but I found them incredibly inconsistent. For mtb, pedal bars would deform and cleats wear quickly so they were never reliable. Get new cleats and they’d be great for weeks... Went back to SPDs and my XTs have been consistent, reliable, and durable. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolie Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Same as AB, I run Times on all my bikes, and would love a backup if they end up available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hey @Teamsloan if you want to try times, I probably have some old cleats for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsloan Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I’ll try the ATAC XS pedals then. Leave the other two for the other guys to have as backups. [mention]AustinBike [/mention] if you have cleats I’ll take ‘em. As it’s a completely unnecessary experiment, I have no desire to invest in it. I’ve still got some stuff laying around here I need to PIF, so stay tuned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to try something different so got some egg beaters. Then, tried Times largely on the local hype on Mojo. They were way better than the Crank Bros, but I had the cleat wear issue and had a lot of unintentional releases due to rock strikes. When I went back to SPDs, I had to wonder why I spent years on anything else. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssorgs Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I'll leave all 3 pair of times out for Teamsloan & schoolie in a box tonight by 7 until they're picked up. Sending pms with address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyt Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 i have times as well, they are fine, a lot more flexible foot positioning. But I also didnt have problems with spd. I always set as loose as possible and dont mind if my foot pops out. the downside of times is that when I travel I cant use my shoes on random bikes that usually have spd. When people come to visit they cant just ride my bikes as is because their shoes are set for SPD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people come to visit they cant just ride my bikes as is because their shoes are set for SPD. I solved this by hanging onto my old 959’s for visitors. For travel I just bring some times with me. If I wanted to, I could just put some SPD cleats on an old pair of shoes. I can ride SPDs for a weekend with no issue, but longer than that my knees start to hurt. If I know it will be a long trip I bring times. Just gotta remember to take them off the bike when you are done. Luckily I decided to change into clean clothes or I would have been on the road last time and left my pedals on the rental bike. Guy ran out to the parking lot with them. and I also have a couple pairs of flats because you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinBike Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Anyone good with TV's? I have an old (heavy) Vizio TV, 42". The left side of the screen is flickering, probably a backlight issue. If anyone wants a project to play with, let me know, otherwise it goes off to be recycled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Meltdown Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I have 2 cardboard bike shipping boxes I've been holding onto for no reason. One was from a medium mountain bike, the other was a small road bike. I can supply measurements if interested. I no longer have the foam or other materials. Boxes only. Any takers?

Teamsloan Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I could post my own thread as it’s not asking for a give away, but I’ll try here.Anyone have a spare 29er boost rear wheel I could borrow? Preferably:-six bolt disc-sram xd cassette driverI need to send mine in for a rebuild. I love my i9’s but apparently earlier on they had some issues with spoke wind up during the initial build which led to detentions spokes later. :(Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
