asked by: chr...@....com Given the purported strength of Ti, is it really possible that a heavier rider (say like me at 200 pounds) could actually break them? I'd like to get these and I struggle to believe that a pedal could really break at just 25 pounds - split two ways - above the purported limit. Then again maybe I don't understand the physics here or the properties of Ti.

anwered by: canteau Titanium is much stronger than steel or CRMO by weight IE a 100g Ti spindle is stronger than a 100g CRMO spindle, however in the case of something like these pedals Xpedo is able to make a pedal that if made with a CRMO axle of the same weight would have a weight limit of about 100# vs #175.
If you and your gear are about 200# total and you are using them for road/gravel/XC use, you probably won't have any issues, however should they break Xpedo is not going to cover them as a warranty claim.

asked by: jellinek On the XMF08TT page on their website Xpedo says "*Titanium Spindle (Max rider weight 85kg/187lbs)." Your listing says "Ti Axle weight restriction! Xpedo recommends a 175 pound rider weight limit for the Ti/Ti." As a 182 lb. rider, I'd like to know if you're stocking an older pedal with a lower weight limit, or if your page is simply out of date.

anwered by: canteau Our supplier is listing the pedals as having a 175# weight limit and they are the importer for all of these pedals sold in the US.

Ordered these pedals on a Thursday afternoon, they were sitting at my front door on Monday. That's what I'm talking about!! Thanks Tree Fort ... 5 Gears for that. Oh, and the pedals ROCK. Light and easy clip in clip out. You'll think you have Shimano XTR's on but a 100grams lighter. Buy Them!
Great pedal and very light.SPD works with all others.The only problem is the parts are not available in the US so when the inside bushing wears out you have a $200 disposable pedal that still looks like new.
