I must have hit the pedal when climbing and could only clip in on one side. The metal clip is bent out of position. Is the clip replaceable? Does Time sell new clips? It's the MX2 model. Alternatively can I fix it? I have a decent set of tools, vises, etc.




Pics show bent clip and good clip.

Love ATACs! I’ve successfully switched out spring/clips before. They used to be available as repair items. Center pin has to be pushed out, I’m sure you can figure it out.

I could certainly be wrong, but that clip is just a big spring. What exactly is bent that prevents it from going forward? Seems like something else is going on.

Agreed. I looked at it for a while and I cannot really tell what prevents the entire spring to rotate ~5-8 degrees when I push it by hand. Could it just be the springs tension on the spindle it sits on.... I don't know. I'll contact Time.

Did some googling.... might be a known issue.

Spring bar broken on Time Atac

Time has a 2-year warranty.... but unfortunately Time Pedals was bought by SRAM. From what I recall, SRAM requires me to bring the pedals to a SRAM affiliated bike shop to process the warranty. B/c I bought the pedals from Amazon, bike stores can be a bit hesitant to help me out.

Found the proper fix. The ears of the spring need to be bent back into place. Will report back in a couple days when I get to this.

Any bike shops that turn away the chance to bring in a new customer are undeserving of your patronage.

Fixed it. Took me 5 minutes. Just needed to bend those spring tips 10 degrees to the right.

I used a small nailset to push the retaining pins out.
