I've been looking for reviews of the Time RXS pedals on the net and
haven't really found any. I did find these "user" reviews:

One disturbing thing is the reports of the pedal unscrewing itself.

I've seached this group and the net and cannot find any other reports
of these pedals unscrewing themselves. Anyone see this firsthand?

Thanks,

Never seen a Time RXS pedal in person but I do have 13 years experience
with Time Equipe models and their durability. With the Time brass rear
cleat, it wears a groove in the side of the pedal body when you clip
out. With my 1992 Time Sport aluminum body pedals, there was a wide
deep groove from the brass cleat. With more time, it would literally
cut the front of the pedal off. Sadly the bearings on these pedals
gave up and I was too lazy to replace them. Might have damaged the
bearing surfaces too. So I bought a pair of Equipe pedals from Nashbar
a year or two ago for about $60 on closeout. I think the RXS pedal
bodies are plastic/carbon. And the rear cleat is still brass. So I
suspect the RXS pedals will be cut in half from unclipping the brass
cleat much quicker than the old aluminum bodied pedals.
