I have a pair in my closet. They have metal clips attached and are in great condition.

Re: [RBW] WTB: MKS urban pedals
MKS Stream pedals are a nice option...no flip tab but there are teeth on both sides of the pedal and they're narrow...they may be a little narrower than Sylvans - about the width of high-grade MKS NJS models.Amazon has them as does Harris Cyclery for under $30.00. Bearings tend to be on the tight side...lube and adjustment may be required but otherwise they're very nice pedals. However, if you have wide feet...not so much of a good option Ryan Fleming - Winnipeg On Monday, July 25, 2016 at 9:22:01 AM UTC-5, Joey Korkames wrote: > > I second your assessment of the buttery smooth bearings. > They feel like premium racing pedals and look great on any era of bike. > > One could always amputate the outer vanes of the flip tab with a hacksaw > and file if its too much. > > On Saturday, July 23, 2016 at 2:37:13 PM UTC-7, Patrick Moore wrote: >> >> I sold my pair, but while the Urbans are far better in quality than the >> GR 9s -- bearings and body are very good quality -- I disliked the larger >> flip tab -- the size actually made it harder to get into the straps.

Re: [RBW] WTB: MKS urban pedals
I second your assessment of the buttery smooth bearings. They feel like premium racing pedals and look great on any era of bike. One could always amputate the outer vanes of the flip tab with a hacksaw and file if its too much.

Re: [RBW] WTB: MKS urban pedals
I sold my pair, but while the Urbans are far better in quality than the GR 9s -- bearings and body are very good quality -- I disliked the larger flip tab -- the size actually made it harder to get into the straps. I now use a pair of GR 9s on the Dahon, and they work (for me) much better. FWIW. I see that MKS has a GR 10 model, that looks much like the 9. How is their quality compared to the Urbans (almost as good as the Keirin quality track pedals) and to the 9s (entry level)? (Bearings on the 9s: I basically dribble thick oil into the bearings, then let use wear them in to smoothness. The track pedal bearings are the best I've ever seen.)

[RBW] WTB: MKS urban pedals
I decided to just go with toe clips and my old sylvan pedals due to being very clumsy off bike and constantly shredding my ankles and shins with VP spiky platforms. Toe clips work better for me while spinning anyway. Looking to upgrade my sylvans though and get a bit narrower as well and checking to see if anyone has these MKS urban platforms sitting around. - Ryan in Seattle -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
