Opinions please....

Iclic system, also available from Mavic, are great. Just wish the cleats didn't wear down so easily (really ought to get some covers, but they aren't widely available).

I've had a couple pair of RXS for many years. I love the pedals. I like the cleats (very walkable and durable), I like the metal-metal contact and I like the way the float works compared to Look/Shimano type pedals.

I've also had great customer service when I had a problem soon after I got the pedals, but after the warranty ran out - they replaced a pedal at no cost, very quickly. Haven't had a problem with two sets in many thousands of miles since.

I haven't used the iClic or Xpresso because the RXS just don't wear out or break (other than the early - probably defective - incident).

Finally, for the weight weenie amongst us: you can't do better in weight/cost in a 3 bolt cleat-type pedal.

Covers are available bu they cost about the same as replacement cleats.

I've been using the Xpresso 4s for a couple years now. Inexpensive, fairly light, and work perfectly. Easy to clip in and out. The cleats get pretty chewed up but haven't had any engagement issues even with worn looking cleats.

rxs carbons on all my bikes. the cleat longevity is superior to any other pedal system.

I love Time pedals. Have 2 sets. Xc6 and the cleats actually don't wear too bad in my opinion. But I'm not hiking in them so wtf do I know lol. I have a pair for sale if anyone is itching.

i like my RXS. seem to take a few miles for them to break in and engage easily. generous float. i dont need any adjustment for float or retention effort. and doesnt infect me with that strange disease that seemingly make people fall off at stoplights - whats the deal with that , by the way.

I use the xpresso pedals. I have 2 sets of expresso 2's (for indoor setup and for winter riding) and 1 set of xpresso 12's. I've had no issues with them. Others have reported the pedals breaking, but I haven't had those issues in the past 2 years or so.

I use expresso 4's. At about 12k miles my first set got a little sloppy and had to replace. Figured 12k was a good enough life on them. I've had no issues.

I've been on Xpresso 8/10's with all my bikes for three years now, and I like them a lot. Easy engagement and release. Lightweight with a low stack height. With a little care, I can get 4-5k miles out of a set of cleats. I've not used the RXS, but pdedes has made me curious so I may get a pair just for comparison.

They can be a bit creaky with a bigger guy like me when climbing, but I spray them down periodically with PTFE dry lube and wax the contact points to keep them quiet.

I have used RXS pedals for 6+ years now.

The cleats are probably the most walkable of any that I know of, great for those who do organized century/touring type rides where one stops and spends time off the bike. Cleats have great life to them.

I've seen some online reviews blubbering about the pedals (most notably earlier carbon models) having durability issues, but I have NEVER encountered this.

Online UK retailers have great deals on the pedals and cleats.

I wouldn't recommend these for racing (Speedplay much more suited) but otherwise, I fully endorse them.

Time expresso 6 here.

No problem in 3 years.

RXS Carbon on my four road bikes and the track bike. The set on my Moots was installed in Dec 2007. I've never had any issue with any of them and have never had them release on my track bike even during races. The best part is the Cafe cleats, the cleat is recessed and you walk on the outer part never on the cleat, but you can get sh*t caught between the cleat and the surrounding plastic part.

RXS Carbon or Speed here on all my road bikes.

• Carbon is black, Speed is white.
• Carbon has a titanium spindle, Speed has a steel spindle - which means you can use a 'hidden cadence magnet' on the Speed.
• The Carbon weighs less, but at my skill level it doesn't matter.

There's also the First in grey, which weighs slightly more than the Speed.

The cleats last forever. As someone posted previously, due to the design you can pick up crud and have to knock it out - if you're having trouble clipping in, look for crud.

Though the pedal system is old (10+ years, I believe), Time still manufactures these pedals and cleats. I'll probably never change to another system.

RXS are the best in almost any flavor although the racing carbons are a real treat. My oldest set is 7 years old and still going strong. My only worry is how long cleats will be available.

In my opinion the Time Atac's are the best 2 bolt (mountain) pedals. The reliability of shimano spd's, the mud/snow/ice shedding of crank brothers, and you can't get better float in mountain pedals. And none of the drawbacks - doesn't have the "little trouble handling mud/snow/ice" of shimano, or the reputation for poor reliability of crank brothers.

I'm not using clipless any more, but if I went back to 2 bolt clipless time atac's were imo the best system.
