Oh TIMES. I had a love affair with you during my x/c days and still fondly remember them. I really love the mechanism and longevity of their pedals, and it should have really kicked CrankBros to the curb back in the day. They have not kept up to modern platform design trends, and the 12s are breathtakingly expensive. I refuse to pony up for the 12s. Tried the Speciale 8 and they don't offer up much platform at all - it's basically an XT clip pedal. I hope SRAM eventually remembers they bought TIME and inject some sensible modern designs and prices into the lineup. There's a lot of Mallet marketshare out there for the taking - give me a real platform to stand on.
