Good Times... Bad Times...
I recently had a close call with my Times Comp clipless MTB pedals. I was going home from work (I commute), when the pedal just snapped off mid-sprint, out of my saddle. My foot slammed to the ground as I was going 15+mph. I still don't know how I kept from crashing.
Has anyone else had a problem with these pedals before? http://ebay2.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_...a2e78d/i-1.JPG |

Maybe they're borked/chipped or worn? Maybe the bolts are loose. Although worn cleats and loose bolts usually result in not being able to release. |
The plastic between the spindle and the metal cuff snapped. It was funny because the pedal was still attached to my foot as I was scraping the pavement with it.

Take it as a sign you are a strong rider.. go for the TI ones next time :P
I've never heard of that happening before, how old where the pedals? |
Practically brand new, no more than 600 miles.

I assume you ae sending them back to Time for replacement and compensation for ruined sorts.There could be a defect that could be grounds for a recall.
|
My LBS is taking care of that for me.

I had a similar experience. However, my crank arm broke instead of the pedal. Just like you, my foot came slamming down, but I didn't crash. I thought that I had just come unclipped. However, when I stopped, the pedal and the end of the crank arm were still attached to my shoes.
It sounds like a defect in the pedal to me. |
