I'm looking to shed some weight from my dh bike and I know my old 646s are on the heavy side. Shimano is preferred, but I'm willing to branch out for a better weight:durabilty ratio.

Do you have a link to that pedal ?Kanter said:Xpedos are the lightest flats I could find and they are super strong.
Been there, done that. Short of going single ply, I've max'd out that option within reason.Dufault01 said:Well Im still having troubles to find a pedal that will actually hold up to some abuse. But Ive never tried shimano. Times are light but they break easily of rock. The mallets m is pretty light to but again, the damn spindles are only 8mm wide so if you hit them of anything there gonna break. If your looking to shed some weight, dont look at pedals, do rims and tires, everything else is just kinda useless.
ya the mallets are way to easy to come out of. so get the time's their customer service is pretty goodbikenweed said:Is it possible to adjust the spring tension on the Crank Brothers pedals? And from the design, it appears that any impact from below will push apart the X hold the cleat, thus unclipping you. Does this actually happen?

I run those exact pedals on my trail bike - if I plan on hitting any trail that has a lot of rocks I have to switch them with burlier pedals or fear of breaking them. Just the few times Ive hit them on trails rides was enough to already rip a pin or two rights out of their threads.vitox said:thats a magnesium pedal, either technology has gotten the better of me or it just cant be as impact resistant as an Al alloy pedal.
Mine have held up fine, but they usually only get bashed riding up stuff or from flying rocks. Using regular(sidi) clipless shoes they don't offer much in the grip department -- the clips are higher than the platforms.amateur said:Any thoughts on the Time ATAC's?
