I’ve ridden Time for many years. Completely reliable – bearings seem to last forever. Very good in mud, crud and snow – I’ve never had any issues getting in or out (last time we rode in freezing conditions I was better off than katie on flats, which had built up a layer of ice over the top that 5-10s soft rubber couldn’t kick off)
BUT current Time pedals are not repairable. I’ve bent springs on 3or 4 pedals over the last couple of years with rock strikes. (Climbing, low bottom bracket bikes) and you can’t buy replacements (or even salvage springs from other pedals sue to the way they’re built.
Early days but I’ve just switched to Shimano Saint. In theory less float but actually seems to be more variation in the cleat position so I seem to be getting it where I need it. Wide platform seems to be giving more shoe support clipped in than the Time MX (where your shoe does seem to rest on the spring) and a big platform to rest on when you’re not.
Lots more gap around the middle of the pedal to clear mud than on the 424. Picked mine up for 60ish on eBay.
