Odd, I've been riding Time pedals for years and I've never had that happen.

 

Presumably they're still under warranty.

I thinks it's only Shimano that still makes pedals out of metal. The rest are a plastic blend. Thanks Shimano for not using carbon.

Any relation to Greg/Geoff?

 

Some seriaas power there dude, get a track bike (if you don't already) and NOTICE TO CSA: put the guy on your radar

 

Good luck with the warranty.

Damn dude!!

 

You think they'll want to do a drug test before giving you a replacement?? LOL

 

More serious note: Must have been a factory fault, have you tried getting them swapped?

Contact Arnold at J & J, he should sort it out no problem. Ive had nothing but great service from him in the past.

 

Mail him on arnold at jjcycling co za

Have been riding Time for about 5 years now with no issues.

 

Get them replaced and ask for a report back on what happened.

In any manufactured item, there will be a few duds in the production run. I think you may just have been unlucky.

 

Start getting worried if a few of them have broken.

Start getting angry if they refuse to replace them under warranty.

I took them back to Westdene cycles... they said they would chat to the rep and try to replace them today, Lets see what happens....

Luckily I managed to stay on my bike :)

Its not luck that made you stay on the bike but the great design of the pedal. Unlike other pedals your shoe will not come loose if the tip breaks off.

OOOH! I almost forgot!!

 

Wrong place wrong time, perhaps?

Maybe the pedals' time was up?

Time to go for eggbeaters?

Next time, be gentle?

I'll get my coat...
