I used Time pedals for about two years and found them to be much
better for me than the Look-style pedals I was using before. I
switched to Speedplay's the first year they came out and haven't had
knee problem one since then, which is remarkable considering the
severity of the DJD in my knees and the complete lack of cartilage in
one knee and severe laxity in both knees.

How do you manage with a complete lack of cartilage? I'd have thought
every movement would be excruciating painful.
