I have SPDs but if I had the choice I would have Times...the advantages of the mud factor alone!
I do LOVE my SPDs tho...they are easy! great learner pedals! and not too tight if I do want them to be! I will have them for awhile because I am not very hard on my equipment (even tho I am on the same trails as hubby and doing the same drops/puddles/climbs/rock gardens) he seems to just be harder on his stuff...weight is a factor I think. I have had them for over 2 years and "aquired" a pair for my commuter...not to mention the # of cleats I have Anyway, because I am using them on 2 bikes with same shoes upgrades are more $$$, when I do switch/upgrade I will DEFINITELY get the TimeAtaks!!! SOOOOO, at this point if I knew what to ask for I would have said Times...hind-sight, but good fore-sight for others
I am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.
