Time xpresso pedals
Moderator: robbosmans
i moved from speed plays to the expresso 8's on my everyday bike for uni and general riding and haven't had any issues until hit riding home last month. Now have some 6's on it.
perform great, haven't had creaking like others, no issues with build quality either. One thing though is prepared to get your legs cut a bit if you miss or walking it along....................... but from what i've read about time pedals thats a common occurrence regardless of the model.

Has anyone tried replacing the Platform on these pedals?
I have the 8's, no problems ~ 10'000kms and scratching my head on how it could be done?
Apparently you can buy them -

I purchased the Xpresso 12s last summer and really wanted to like them; the weight is amazing and unlike some, I love black and red. But they just didn't WORK very well! They did not engage as easily as I had hoped or been lead to believe, the float was not very smooth and they just didn't feel very solid underfoot. And yeah, the back edge cut my calf, too. So I dumped them on eBay and went back to my reliable if somewhat heavy Shimano DA 7900 pedals. Being a WW, I have the new Look Keo Blade Ti 2s on order.
Have ridden the 12 a few times now. I don't seem to be able to clip in as easy as the iClic it replaced. They do feel much more snug and with less movement of the cleat while in place. Love that. They do turn easy. Time will tell.

One thing to mention for the life of me I can comprehend why is even there is the very sharp corner in the middle outside edge of the pedal. I can see someone cutting their leg pretty good with this thing

Yep - I've cut my leg up. Then got a file out, and filed the outside corners down to a 5mm rad - I recommend this as the first thing you do when you buy a set.
No doubt a design oversight & I can't see them fixing it, mostly as they'd probably need to add some metal to the moulds ($$$ new moulds / inserts) to put a radius in there.
Lets wait and see
Hi folks.
I've had a good look at both the Xpresso 12 and the Mavic version and am I missing anything?
Are they absolutely identical apart from the colour/branding?
I've had my RXS Carbon Ti for a while now. No problems at all but liked the look of the wider surface and less weight.
I was put off a wee bit by the red as it wouldn't match....picky I know so the Mavics appealed but it's hard to get myself away from the Time branding...even though I know they've collaborated!
I tell myself my foot would hide the red anyway!
Thanks

Apparently there are differences on the final QC for the Mavic ones. But the big difference is that Mavic offer MP3 on theirs. Break em for any reason in the first 2 years and the replace them.RC856 wrote:Hi folks.

What are the differences on the final QC? Which of TIme Xpresso 12 and Mavic Zxellium SLR Ti pedals has more stringent QC? Do you have a reliable source for the claim (I am awaiting your answer to even find out what you're claiming) of differences on final QC?

Of course the source is Mavic. Having dealt with many suppliers and reps I can tell you they love to spout all sorts of nonsense which isn't true.

MP3 is worth it alone.
As for the bs reps etc spout, we'll see once we've sold a few more which has a higher return rate.
