Hmmm,

I've found the Time upgrade kit works pretty good for any brand of defective
pedals. Most good shops can get them for you. Next time your pedal
prematurely falls apart, just pop into your favorite bike shop, like the
one that sponsors your favorite race, or team, and pick up a pair of ATAC
pedals. Install and be happy. Use the old broken pedals as a nifty paper
weight at the office.

In a past life I used that line on customers when they brought in their Onza
Pedals in protest. Only back then I suggested the 535 upgrade. We sent the
BAD peds back to the bike vendors which got the message and Onza peds went
away.

Mike is 100% right . Let the manufacturer know there is an issue and deal
directly with them. They appreciate constructive, well thought out comments.
Not "Dude you suck give new ones." Most of the time they already know about
the issue and will responded with corrective measures.

I have had great luck with Time. Happy Knees, no hassle with Mud. Paid
more sometimes, but they hold up. I never have rebuilt the first pair after
10 years, and countless hours of use.
