Time ATAC springs and end caps?
I've developed a lot of play on the drive side pedal, and lost the
dust cap. Not sure if the cap stablizes the innards somehow (there's about a cm of threads, so it's hard not to assume that it's doing more than keeping dust out, but....) Three questions: 1- googled around, but couldn't find an exploded diagram of ATACs for a rebuild. Anyone? 2- anyone know where I could find a drive side cap (or both) and springs (mine are around 8 years old and might as well get both at once as I've heard they'll eventually snap?). I'd like to get it in an NYC lbs if possible. 3- same as 2, but online? Thanks as usual, Scott |

You probably have Aliums, because I think those are the only variety of Time ATACs with an end cap; the plastic bodied ones have a closed end. I've not taken an Alium apart. By reputation, they have a bushing that can wear out at the crank end where the plastic bodies have a ball bearing, although I've never actually done one in. I'm not sure replacing the springs is possible or economical. Ben |

Ben You're right about them being Aliums. They're probably 8 years old or so, and the model has changed cosmetically a bit since then. The pedals still turn without any rough spots, which is good enough for me. I did a quick test by moving the dust cap from the good pedal to the one with it missing, and the pedal stopped sliding across the spindle. Pretty unusual to have a dust cap so integral to the pedal's design, but hey, who am I to judge? I hate tossing stuff, so I'm hoping to find a cadaver to graft from. With that said I'm overdue for some new cleats, the price of which almost justifies getting a new set.... |
