Clipless, what are you guys using ?

[tuumbaq]

After a few years on flats Ive decided to go back to clipless pedals...I used to run Shimano's back in the days and Im thinking it would probably be a wise move to run those again.That said from what I can tell the only option that seems viable for DH are the M647 , is this right?? They look bulky, cheap and heavy.

Shimano pro riders arent even running them.Instead they all seem to be using the auto-self destructive CB Mallets???! Ive had one pair of 50/50 a few years back and , well actually I should have said I only BOUGHT one pair but ended up replacing them a millions times.

I hear great thing about the "feel" of the Mallets but did Crankbothers finally got their act together and now make a reliable product?Whats the deal with the plastic end cap , seems UBER gay. Other contender would be Time pedals I guess but Im not sure they make a pedal that offer as much of a platform like the Mallet or even the 647's . . .

Sooooo clipless , what's cool and trendy these days

I run Shimano 647's because I pay for my pedals.

I've been on Shimano or SPD compatible pedals forever.
Currently, I've got XTR Trails pedals. Yes, expensive, but light and tough.

Yeah me too. Not as much platform as some might want but I get good support and don't smash them into rocks as much.

Time ATACs for me, super reliable and nice clip mechanism, but they are pretty damn heavy. The new(ish) X-Rocs may be worth a look, just not sure how well they would hold up to DH rox.

Time x-roc and you will never look back. Think mallet feel but many times better with good reliability. Sounds like a gunshot when clipping out. ATAC system is far superior to CB imo.

Only drawback is that they are a little thick and sketchy to ride unclipped.

Time Pedals for sure. I have the Control Z Strongs. Bearings are still as smooth as the first day they were installed 4 years ago. They currently are getting transferred between my DH and trail bike depending on which I ride and the only maintenance they will require is new cleats (which I'm doing for the 1st time this year).

I'm curious about the new X-Roc pedals as the top end model has adjustable tension and that is the only negative, albeit minor, with Control Z's. This isn't a major issue as the amount of positive feedback and tension while clipping in is many factors higher than say CB Mallets, but at 190lbs it would be nice to up the tension a weeeee bit more.

good stuff guys thanks, guess NO ONE runs CB pedals and Im guessing for a good reason ;-)

Time X-Roc.
2 seasons on them and still going strong.
I had a set of Time Z's before them and they were 6 years old. Still have them for backups, there pretty beat
up but work perfect.
