Time Pedals
Cleats - Mtn

Mountain bike pedals use cleats that recess below the tread of the shoe. Therefore, they are excellent for all kinds of cycling that include regular walking - mountain biking, touring, commuting, or recreational riding. Don't feel limited by their mountain bike heritage; they work equally well on all styles of bikes.

Mountain style pedals:

bulletallow for easy walking
bulletfunction very well in muddy or icy conditions
bulletare not quite as light or aero as regular road pedals
bulletdo not transfer power quite as efficiently as road pedals

Equally at home on mountain and road bikes!

These are much higher quality "SPD" pedals than we find from other companies in this price range. They are smooth, solid, and very nice looking. Though popular on off-road bikes, we use many more on road bikes because they fit all mountain-style shoes with treads so you can walk comfortably. Includes cleats and mounting hardware.

"...best off-road pedal you can buy."

Bike Magazine, March 2002

"Thank you Shimano for round-filing last year's SPD 858 pedals and offering a redesigned 959 pedal for 2002. I lived with the ill-conceived binding claws of the 858 for far too long, but my suffering has been repaid. First, the new binding claws and cleat retention system of the 959 eliminate the minute play or "click" of last year's offering. Second, the Flourine coating (a treatment much like Teflon) is impregnated into the aluminum body for super smooth entry and release (floating side to side while clipped in has a smooth, "liquid" feel). Third, gone is the dedicated M52 cleat of last year. Shimano went back to the all-encompassing M51 cleat that has been out for years. More? Shimano lightened 'em up by 25 grams for the set, there is a new aluminum bearing sleeve with a real metal nut, and the mud clearance is improved. After a one year stumble, Shimano has made the best off-road pedal you can buy."

Shimano's newest top-of-the-line pedal weighs just 344 grams. The narrower center barrel and much wider middle holes greatly improve mud and ice elimination. And, the pedals have a smoother axle system for less friction and better sealing. For convenience, the 959 takes either the old standby SM-SH51 cleat as well as the newer SH52 cleat with the wider back end that Shimano introduced in 2000. The SH51 comes standard with the pedals. It provides a little more float than the SH52.

Time Atac ~ 

"I ride all sorts of clipless pedals, but I always come back to Time ATAC's. They offer the best mud and extreme condition performance with flawless entry and release despite a slathering of trail goo. Did I mention float? The ATAC's sport 10 degrees of float making them easy on the knees." Bike Magazine, May 2001

Speedplay Frogs ~

A large target allows for fast, intuitive, no-look entry. And entry does not require force so a light nudge at the bottom of the stroke is all it takes to click in. Release is effortless and consistent plus, the engagement action clears mud out of the cleat. There is no spring centering action so feet follow their natural path during the pedal stroke. The SPD-style cleat fits all recessed SPD shoes. 300 grams per pair with cleats, cartridge/needle bearings, 20 degree release angle, built-in grease port. Available with stainless axle (pictured on left) or titanium axle (on right). (If you weigh more than 185 pounds, we recommend that you use the stronger stainless pedals rather than Ti.)

We carry a large inventory of Speedplay pedals.  Please inquire for pricing and convenient ordering: Info - BiKyle

Tip - Regularly lubricate the springs of your Frog pedals with a "Dry Lube" for easier entry and longer wear.
