So one of the hoop thingys is broken on one of my pedals. I have the replacement hoop thingy, the pin and the two springs but now have no clue has to the sequence of events to fix it. I figure I just smash the pin out, then thread the springs and new hoop thingy back. However, I sense that there might be something I'm missing and will probably f' the pedal up.

I can't find anything on the internet or this site regarding.

I can still ride it, I just have to watch what side of the pedal I'm clipping into.

I have a broken Time ATAC Alum. pedal too I haven't bothered to fix it though and have no idea how either...sorry!

I've torn apart hundreds of the older ATACs but none of the XS model, not sure if it is the same procedure or not. If it is, there are some fine threads in the end of the pins. I have some small screws that thread in to the pins, clamp the head of the screw in a vise and tap the pedal body off. Replace the spring (hoop) and push the pin back through. Tap the pin all the way back in and call it good.

T - I have tons of regular ATAC spare parts from axles, to pins, to springs, etc. I can send parts and instructions to you or you can send the pedals my way.

I found instructions for the older ones. The pin doesn't appear to have that threaded bit anymore.

I have the same pedals, but mine are not broken. Does that help?

You can punch the pins out with one of these. I would use an anvil, but most people don't have that. Second choice would be a vise. Beyond that, I would drill holes in a board to hold everything.

Here's the punch. It's called a pin punch. I have done the old and the new with no problem, but you do need to push the pin from the spindle side.

I've got one of those. I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't going to be some surprise.

Is there any trick to putting the pin back in with the springs?

Nope, just take sure you note the orientation of the springs when they come out. I definitely remember the old ones having two pieces in there. I am pretty sure that the new ones do as well.

Looking at the close up here, you'll see the bottom pins from the opposing spring.

I have a couple of bashed up pedals... 1 carbon (right) (bent just like yours) and 1 Alium(left) (pin wont stay in). I have the other two pedals mounted on my bike, mismatched . Needless to say, Ill be interested to see what comes up in this thread

P.S. This post will be of no help so dont read it

I've got the LH and RH springs and did notice the orientation. Thanks for the info.

golgiaparatus: I'll take photos of the process and note any issues.

Are the splines worn off of the pin? If so, I can mail you one that will work.

Not sure... I'll have to look. I know it wont stay in thats for sure

These are the quality bicycle part numbers and what I THINK are the time numbers for the time ATAC XS. You will need to replace one arch (2 per pedal). The number in parenthesis is the quantity you get when you order 1 part number.

PD 2431 / E217J09 ATAC XS Spring Axel Steel (2)
PD 2437 / E206B10 ATAC XS Spring Left (1)
PD 2436 / E210B01 ATAC XS Spring Right (1)
PD 2438 / E208C01 ATAC XS Double Arch (2)

You could probably reuse the springs without issue but I think I would use a new pin.

I knocked the pin out with the pin punch and a hammer from the axel side until it was out enough to grap it with a pair of pliers. Then pulled the pin the rest of the way with the pliers. If you are reusing the pin for some reason you may want to wrap the pliers with a rag if you are anal like that.

Once the pin was out the pieces all fell apart.

As bogey noted make sure you put the springs back in the right orientation (there is a left handed and right handed spring). Start the pin hand (put a dap of grease in the spring holes so that the pin slides in a little easier). Once it comes into contact with the spring its necessary to tap the pin with a hammer to get the spring lined up. then just keep tapping away. Only at the very end will it be necessary to get the pin punch back to finish setting the pin all the way.

I took pictures but they aren't necessary.

It took a grand total of 10 mintues including taking the pedal off and then putting it back on.

Really! That's awesome! I actually broke the aluminum body so I wouldn't think it could be fixed, but thanks for thinking of me. I got in a fight with a large rock..we're still trying to figure out who won

You under estimate the stash of old Time pedals. I have aluminum bodies as well. We used to make an upgrade kit for the older style Time pedals to include titanium axles, aluminum pins, and ti springs. Plenty of parts to go around from doing upgrades for customers.

I'm still running a set of carbons with the full kit and the only set of Control Zs in existence with all ti goodies. Crazy light for a platform/clipless pedal.

Let me know.
