Time All Road Gripper Road Bike Pedals Review
A great manufacturer well known for creating durable, high performing products is Time. One of the best product releases from Time is the Time All Road Gripper pedals, which have a innovative concept and daring design, which also feature performance enhancing features that can easily compete with the more expensive models offered to cyclists today.
One of the most noticeable aspects a number of testers commented on was the Time All Road Gripper pedals strength. The aluminium body offer riders a quirky design as well as an unbelievable amount of strength, while the durable steel axle features super-smooth sealed cartridge bearings, for amazing low resistance spins. All of these aspects of the pedal offer riders the perfect equilibrium of strength and rigidity, ensuring that these pedals help riders to reach unbelievable fast speeds.
The design of the pedals are also well calculated, with the All Road Gripper pedals only 3 mm broader than the MTB spuds, ensuring that groundouts are extremely rare.
A surprisingly impressive feature of the Time All Road Gripper pedals is the ATAC, Auto Tension Adjustment Concept cleat mechanism. This mechanism enables riders to generate their perfect spring tension of these pedals, easily and quickly, creating extremely responsive pedals. The cleat release is also easily adjusted counter/clockwise using a recessed flat-headed screw, although some testers commented that this system took some negotiating and patience, especially for those who are accustomed to Look/Keo/SPD systems.
The Time All Road Gripper pedals are extremely comfortable, offering riders a respectable 5 degrees of float. While the platforms provided plenty of support for riders, creating even more comfortable pedals.
The flat platforms offer riders a surprising amount of friction, keeping a riders foot in place when enjoying a quick ride to the local shops. Although, many testers noticed how quickly the soft gripper studs began to wear in a short space of time, however, they are easy to replace.
The Time All Road Gripper’s are extremely versatile pedals, yet despite being design and aimed at the casual riders, these pedals feature an array of impressive features making them a great investment for cross, commuting and new riders.
