After 3 pairs of Aliums, 2 Atacs & 2 Z-Controls, this is the first time I’ve properly broken a Time pedal beyond repair.
The first Aliums gave an axle to the first Z-Controls, but I don’t know if I can replace a spring.

Well aren’t they buggered!

yes you can replace a spring

I believe you can.

IR Bandito?

It’s probably…………..Time(!!) you bought some new ones!!!!

😀 😀 😀 You see what I did there…….

IGMC.

You can indeed. I’ve smashed one or two, always keep spare pedals to use the spare parts.

Hmm, might borrow a punch from work and sacrifice another Alium.

I had issues with my Z-control’s. The rod that holds the springs in kept working loose to the point it disengaged on one side so the spring lost its tension.

If you start replacing springs, I bet this will lead to the rods loosening.

I’d planned on using the good loctite.

Spot weld as an option … ?

I’ve just bought 2 pairs of xc4’s having used egg beaters for over 10 years. I snapped a spring on one pair after less than 100 miles. Sending it back to Merlin so let’s hope the next pair last a bit longer!

That’s a bit unlucky. My first Z-Controls outlasted 3 bikes in 10 years.
