Re: [RBW] MKS RMX Service/Rebuild

2017-12-07 Thread Patrick Moore 
For a $30 pedal, my rebuild method of choice is to pry off the dustcap and
inject as much grease with a grease gun as the axle tube will hold. But if
the RMXs are like the GR-9 or the oddly named but even nicer Esprit, you
can pry off the dustcap and access the locknut and cones and bearings. I've
rebuilt Shimano mtb rattrap pedals with cones and bearings, though --
finicky but doable.

Re: [RBW] MKS RMX!

Yes. Taking all things into account - value, goodness, function, simplicity, reflectors - these might be my favorite thing that Rivendell sells. I say "might", because I'm a huge fan of the AHH.- Jim W.-Original Message-

The RMX pedals are great, but the little serrated nubs do wear down over time and they lose a bit of their stick.  But at least they're priced really well for when you need a replacement!

I was out pedaling around today in-between showers and picked up a
pair of MKS RMX pedals. I put them on my Rambouillet when I got home
and earlier today pedaled to the store the long way. Wow! Those pedals
are great. I think I even like them more than Grip Kings. They seem to
have better traction and while they may be more susceptible to pedal
strike than GKs that certainly isn't a deal breaker.

As it stands right now all of my bikes have platform pedals. Sure, I
have a couple of sets of SPDs laying around and I'm certain that one
set will find it's way back on to one of my bikes before too long but
for now... I'm pedaling free. I'm working this weekend which is fine,
next week is supposed to be a scorcher so I'm looking forward to a few
days of long rambles in the heat.

On a related note... I recently picked up a pair of Teva Hurricanes
and have found that just as Grant has said for many years, they make
great cycling shoes. I had tried another pair of Tevas that I've had
for years but they're just too wide and the sides always rub on the
crank arms. Not so with the Hurricanes.

I'm totally intoxicated on Rivendell Kool Aid! But don't worry, no
intervention or detox is necessary.
