I never gave pedals a second though but consistent foot retention on a fixed gear is a bigger deal. Currently I'm on single-sided Look Deltas which are fine on longer rides but are kind of a pain when riding in the city.
My go-to double-sided was always the Shimano 520. Rode those for many years with zero issue. My current Shimano/Looks have 9 degrees of float which has been nice but figure I can adapt. Plus you can't beat the price/durability of 520's.

The Time MTB pedals seem to have a big following with fixed gear riders. I just need someone to school me up on these pedals.

-Do you have a favorite Time mtb pedal? (older version is fine). There is a lot of versions of the Time ATAC over the years where the 520 is pretty much the same pedal for the last 20 years.

-Any models that might be better for riding fixed gear? Yes, I do skid sometimes and don't want any surprises.

-Do Time pedals have any odd adjustment or clipping in/out quirks?

-I read something about Time pedals having this odd sideways play like it feels your foot is sliding off the side of the pedal? Is this BS?

-How much float do you get on older Time pedals? Can it be adjusted?

-Can they be rebuilt/serviced with regular tools?


Like I said, I have no problem buying an older version off craigslist/ebay if there was a specific version that's well liked.
Thanks a lot.
