The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly: 10 Editors' Clipless Pedal Setups
@Jesse221: the Time Speciale 12 is over $400 retail list in Canada, which is whack, so when I picked a system their are many $$ reasons to not buy them over any CB pedal. I used to be a TIME guy in my X/C days so I know the mechanism well and how good it is. Their MTB pedal designs for gravity sports and pricing leave a lot to be desired. Lots of potential for SRAM to improve.

The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly: 10 Editors' Clipless Pedal Setups
Having run various iterations of TIME, SPDs, and CB pedals over the years, I would 100% run TIME if they would offer a modern pedal design that would offer some of that Crank Bros feel with flat pedal shoes. Nothing beats a properly setup Mallet for the feel. TIME can do it - I am hoping the SRAM cash injection brings some more modern designs that don't cost an arm + leg (looking at you Speciale 12). Having tried the Speciale 8, they don't cut it and feel just as skatey as the Shimano trail pedals.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 118 - Music and Mountain Biking
I never listen to music while riding because Alberta and Eastern BC is prime bear country. Prefer to focus on my surroundings and have situational awareness of my environment and sounds my bike is making.
