Time XPro pedals in the wild?

[FlashUNC]

Anyone seen this updated XPresso pedal in the wild by chance? I know Time said they're launched as of the New Year, but haven't seen them anywhere that you can actually buy them.

[sales guy]

i have 2 sets here for customers
the 12 and 15

they're nice. haven't used them but they look nice. the 15's are stupid expensive tho.

[John H.]

Do the 12's still have a bunch red on them?

I want Ti spindles, but I don't like the price of the 15 or the color of the old 12-

Looks like a fair bit of red on the 12 Xpro pedals still.

I'd like to know if they replaced the inboard bushing with bearings.

I haven't seen any mention of that anywhere so I think you'll have to wait until someone who gets a pair is prepared to open them up for a look.

I am sure someone on the W Weenies forum will not take long to do just that.

Just got a pair in the mail from Excel, the XPro 10s.

Something interesting on the XPros, they have a hidden grease port and a recommended grease to use with the bearings inside the pedal. Sits underneath the flat portion of the pedal. Instructions show how to get to it and lube if needed.

An answer to the lack of servicing for the XPressos perhaps?

[BdaGhisallo]

Let us know how they function once you get some time on them.

Any live updates, I have been a Time user since late 80s. Thinking of the 10's

These new pedals are available most anywhere where I live.

Buy yourself the "old" pedals and save a bundle! The improvements on the new pedals are not worth the cash...

Colors for the XPro has remained the same and one can remove the bottom plate if wanted.

Big fan of them so far. Same float and feel as prior generations of Time, engagemrnt is less vague than the XPressos and has fewer of those false engagements I sometimes got.

And with no sharp outside edge, no calf scrapes. A winner all around I think. Haven't needed to service yet, but we'll see how that goes when the time comes.

So again, big fan.

Have Time improved durability? After three broken pairs, the last were Xpresso 8s, I went Shimano SPD-SL.

I just switched from Equipes to Impacts and RSXs.
Way behind the curve.

Never had any issues with the XPressos personally, and no problems with the XPros after six-ish months.

I picked up some 15's and couldnt be happier except for price,better engagement,no sharp edges,stronger cleats.As far as getting the newer cleats goes,cant seem to find them anywhere.Probably have to wait until old stock is depleted.
