been running the times for over a year now and cant find anything wrong with them have worked perfectly and clear mud very well, so my vote is with the times.
if your up the hill at any time you can try them out. gary had a set ooff the crank brother but sold them as he found he had problems clipping out on the left hand pedal.

i had that problem with mine...... but then i saw the light and went to flats  Roll Eyes

mallet c's, beacause these have the rotating clip in the middle therefore it is harder for these to clog with mud in the winter, and when they do due to all the gaps when you go to clip in the mud just falls out.

True, but some people hate the rotating clip...and since the clip in method and rest of pedal are pretty much the same, it all comes down to rotating clip or not.

also the rotating clip can make it easyier if for clipping in if you accidently come unclipped, whereas the others will be harder because you need the whole pedal to spin around then find the clip again

mjnafy are you purely speculating here ? ive used shimano time and mallet cs on several occasions and i can assure u there is no one easier than the other to clip into .... ive never had a pedal stop at 90 degrees to the ground ... the 45 degreee face on the pedal intuitivly makes the correct face paralel to the ground ..

oh ok, ive used both shimano dx and the mallet c's but i found the mallets easyier to clip into, maybe it was just how i had the dx's set up  Embarrassed
