Yes, I have tried them out. I bought a pair last Christmas and installed them in my Stronglight crank that had previously been tapped out for Phil Wood CHPs. They work great, no problems. But, going against popularity, even though they are fine pedals and nice to look at, neither the TAs nor the Phil Wood CHPs are as light and as free spinning and as comfortable and as inexpensive as the Lyotard pedals that I replaced and hope soon to go back to (except that I now need to buy BSC threaded Lyotards).

Have any of you actually tried these pedals out with an English
crankset? Frankly I would be reluctant to put any sort of load
on them. What little experience I have in this area comes from
a pair of Lyotard Marcel Berthet pedals I bought many years
ago. Although they were sold as having BSC threads, I'm
convinced that Lyotard were playing the same game that TA is
these days.
Anyway, when threaded into my TA crankset (with BSC
threads!) then proved to be extraordinarily loose - so much so
that I was concerned that merely tightening them would risk
stripping the cranks. I couldn't believe that they would
sustain real cycling loads and would have the same concerns
about the TA pedals.
But I love to be proven wrong, so if there is any real-world
experiance with the TA pedals, please speak up!
