Anyone using Time ATAC or the MX pedals on FG?

Experience - good or bad?

Had a coworker that swore by them - he's a mechanic and avid rider so I have no reason to doubt his honesty ha

Almost everyone I know rides ATACs, you'll be fine.

Have used them extensively on fixed gear bikes, both with and without brakes. They're great, very secure, durable, and a comfortable amount of float. Only pulled out once, and it was in my first week of ever riding clipless when I accidentally twisted my foot out too far.

Pretty much all of fgnyc swears by them. I've heard good things

Great pedals
Have had mine for a long time
Without any problems
I rode crank brothers before and broke the spindles 3 times
I ride fixed 95 % of the time

Yes as of 3 months ago, very happy.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but when people say "time atacs (for fixed gear)," are they referring to any particular model or series, or are they all essentially the same (aside from build materials, shape, etc)??

The best part about ATAC's are they are rebuildable.

Only con is they're a tad more pricey than their competition.

The ATAC 8 carbon's come in a pretty rad tin tho. Nicest 2 bolt cleat pedal out there imo.

and youll probably never have to. times are ****ing indestructible, you could run them over with a tank and still not unclip accidentally

i love mine, i bash them on rocks and **** all the time and they still have the most solid engagement of any pedal ive used, except for my road pedals with the tension jacked all the way up

atac is all the same, its the name of the mechanism. its just the pedal body and materials that change

Any particular models everyone recommends?

aliums are what i have, though they dont make them anymore

ive been told the XC 6 are about XT level, thats what i would get if i wanted new ones

If they don't only come in yellow...

Are all the time atac's dual sided?

Not really, higher end models have a greater range of float adjustment. And to add, higher end versions are a bit more fragile than their cheaper counterparts as you're sacrificing durability for lighter/ less robust materials.

With the ones in production, yes. All of their xpresso series, which take a 3 bolt cleat are one sided like SPD-SL and KEO.

Ok, great. Thanks!

love my time ATAC aliums, been riding them for 2 years straight with no problems never.

actually just picked up a pair of NOS aliums on the good ol' ebay. you can usually find them for ~$40-50 or cheaper if patient.

One thing no one has mentioned which i dig is that the cleats are brass and the bottoms of them will flatten pretty quickly lessening any clicking noise that occurs when walking. I used to wear my shoes all day at work and in less than a week new cleats ceased to make any noise at all on hard floors.

So I went and got some MX6's but after about 10 mins of trying to clip in, it appears that my super-cool completely non-pretentious recessed-cleat dzr shoes will not abide all that extra pedal platform. So it's either shave off almost all the rubber from the bottom of the shoe (completely defeating their purpose) or get some different pedals.

My question: Should I get some new XC6's or some used Aliums from ebay?

That said, have some MX6's for sale in great condition. lol

or you could just put shims inbetween the cleat and the shoe

I use the ATAC XS and the Aliums because of that reason. I once took some rubber out of my Chrome Kursks to fit the pedals, don't do that.
