I can see why you wouldn't want 3 systems, but I've tried many & Time is best IMO for a fixie clipless system. Then again I also found them better for MTB, feels far more secure, found myself riding..more anaerobically through some trails, than I had with SPD. Strange descriptive, but it's morning. I guess with Times I realized I didn't have to worry -at all- about popping out when coming off a double or twisting up a switchback
