I've had to disassemble and repack all four MKS pedals sets I own (1 Touring, 3 Grip King). Actually I should say I had to disassemble the first two sets, the second sets I just went ahead and did before I even tried them. :-) It seems MKS is very stingy with the grease at the factory.
The first time I got the "click" was with my touring pedals shortly after my new Quickbeam arrived last November. The click got worse and worse and I ended darn near taking everything off the frame and greasing it. Nothing worked and I though perhaps I'd gotten a faulty bottom bracket. You could feel the click throughout the frame. I kept searching and finally came across this: http://stankertanker.blogspot.com/2008/12/mks-touring-pedal-dismay-and-rebuild.html I took repacked my pedals and haven't had a bit of trouble with them since. Next I got a pair of Grip Kings and threw them on without thinking. Sure enough they clicked within a week. Repacked. All good. The next two pairs of GKs (for other bikes) were taken apart and repacked before I even used them. No noise at all with those. But, like the others, they showed a real lack of factory lubrication. Once they are repacked they are great though. BTW - as I recall there are 12 bearings per Grip King pedal, 11 per Touring pedal. Aloha!
