I have a pair of MKS Bear Trap Pedals - they're the best! I've run into the same issue before and it was just caused by the right pedal developing some play. Its just a cup and cone style hub, so it should be fairly straightforward to remove the play/click as long as you have allen keys/metric

No. I tried. You need the center post which the Paul doesn't have. The Sunrace mount will work, but the center post supplied is too short. One needs to use either a Shimano bar end center post or something similar. Just went through that whole issue on my Sam Hillborne. Ended up just using it
