News on Time pedals/bikes

See link to article that Rossignol has sold Time.

https://www.bicycleretailer.com/inte...p#.Xt5yf2hKiUk

Not sure if this is good or bad news. I have been a user of Time pedals since the Equipe days. Have thought about switching to Shimano but then I ride my RXS pedals and they work great except when they break etc.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Alan

Might be to start sorting out another pedal option once this dries up.

Just shows that you need to do more than make a good bike to be a good bike company. It's a tough tough business.

Another RXS user. Using RXS these days feels like I'm just waiting for disaster to strike.

I'm really happy with my XPresso pedals and had been really looking forward the Cyclo pedals too. May be time to hoard the former.

I'm trying to understand the Synergy in this acquisition. Could it be for the frame building / carbon side of the business?

I've been liking my Atac 8 pedals for the past year, until the body broke on one last week. This news and my recent pedal failure sends me back to Shimano SPDs

I personally think there is still some hidden design that will be a better mtb mounting which doesn't rock and quicker to clip in road pedal (I flounder at stop sign getting into my xPro's.

It’s too bad because their carbon manufacturing is very unique. One of the few mainstream manufacturers I would consider riding. That they were sold to a startup ebike company doesn’t bode well for Time as a road bike company.

I've been riding ATACs on my bikes for a dozen years. That they have been bullet proof is one thing, but the best is that the float has been great for my knees. This is cautionary news, as any business change/buyout has the potential to screw things up. But I'll try to be optimistic and hope for the best for now.
