MKS (Sylvan Road) Pedal Sylvan Road Left and Right Set

Good stuff. Using these on an 80's steel bike. Keeps the vintage look.

I am super happy with these. Got them to restore an older vintage schwin le tour road bike. I paired these with chrome toe clips and leather straps. Made my bike look sooooo good. A bit pricey, but definitely worth it if thats the look you are going for. You will have to put some grease in the bearings of these (they were pretty stiff when I first got them).- Easy installation (5 min)- Great Look- You gonna have to grease these puppies when you install them

This is the second set of MKS pedals that I have purchased. Thank You for the very fast shipping.Both sets of these petals had a trace of grease on them. But no where near the amount of grease needed.Even if your riding weight is under twenty pounds. These new in the plastic wrap, pedal shafts / bearings felt bone dry. If you are installing these on a rusty beater yard sale Huffy. Well chances are (at least you have a shiny new pair of pedals). The last MKS pedal set went on a gift 420 Trek that I built for a friend. Trust me in the mid seventies, I rode a custom bike with new Campagnolo super record titanium shaft pedals. Plus a few other bikes that had the same Campy parts. These look nice for the money. The package states made in Japan. It is a simple job to open these up and grease them.1. The dust caps need to be screwed off. Lefty loosey.2. While holding the pedal shaft with a proper wrench or a small vise. Remove the 12mm top nut, followed by the small washer.3. Then carefully unwind the large spindle nut.4. All of the time keeping an eye on the loose ball bearings.5. Apply a good grade grease to the exposed top bearings. (second picture)6. Now thread on the cone shaped spindle nut back onto the pedal shaft. righty tighty It takes a gentle touch not to walk a loose bearing out of the top race.7. After the top spindle nut is started and well greased. You can turn the pedal over and grease the other set of bearings.8. Now the step that takes some time. While pressing the large (well greased) threaded pedal shaft end into the fresh grease.Turn the pedal over.9. Continue to tighten the large spindle nut until you feel it just getting tight.10. Insert the washer and install the small lock nut.11. It should have a very small amount of side play now. Maybe a third of a turn loose from the tight spot.12 Now while holding the large threaded end of the pedal shaft. Tighten the lock nut. (don't break it or strip it!) You might need to do this part a few times to get it right. Always double check to make sure that you didn't walk a loose bearing out of the race.13. Check the side to side looseness of the bearings. You would like it to have very little side to side play.14. Place a little extra grease on the top lock nut and reinstall the dust cap.If you feel that you can just wear these pedals in.... without being greased. Well don't forget to turn the radio up. All of the little things add up. Unless you like to sound like an old coffee grinder, rolling down the road. If you have a pair of these pedals and would like them to last. Open them up and try to learn a little hands on time.If you are a white line hero, always wear a good helmet. (they still can't rebuild, a crushed head) As it helps with all of the drunk folks with no car insurance or those who text and drive over people... then just drive off.Stay safe God Bless.

wore out a pair of SR's this pedal is legendary and the only suitable choice, the good stuff.

They work well. Keep in mind that these are the old style pedals that have loose ball bearings in them. I swapped from sealed bearing pedals to these simply because these have a bigger surface area without being overly big and have a nice classic styling.Like the others have said, you do need to open them up and grease them. I found a video on YouTube and it wasn't too hard.

I've used toeclip pedals for 45 years, and these are good ones. Why not clipless? I've had two bikes with clipless pedals and have fallen many times at low speeds because I did not get my feet off the pedals in time. The last time, I broke my arm. Never again.

Bought for a road bike that I was commuting on. Excellent with the toe straps.Smoothed out as I rode them and became the smoothest pedals I’ve ever owned. Trouble-free.

Great pedals. These are my second set of MKS's purchased for another bike. I would have rated pedals 5 star except:1. The pedals are used in Portland, OR and are subjected to much rain and road grit. The quantity of grease used is skimpy. Pedals were disassembled, cleaned and repacked with high quality grease and readjusted bearing.2. One of the pedals (right side), the bearing races were to tight on arrival. This pedal was also disassembled, cleaned, repacked and adjusted.Once minor new lube & maintenance completed, MKS were very slick!

Muy buen producto. Recomiendo darles un servicio con grasa nueva para darles un mejor rendimiento ya qué no llegan ajustados perfectamente. También recomiendo que los empaquete mejor. Llegaron bien pero podrían haber llegado mal ya qué vienen en una bolsa

Perfect replacement on my vintage Holdsworth bike. Almost identical to the ones they replaced, they seem to be well made and work flawlessly.

There is nothing not to like. I've restored vintage pedals and the quality of these pedals is superior. The finish is super and the internal works are excellent. I did the slightest of adjustment of tension on one pedal which is me just being picky. I would recommend these pedals to anyone concidering a clip pedal. Mine went on a single speed.

Comprato per il restauro di una bicicletta a cui volevo dare un aspetto vintage, il pedale è fantastico a vedersi (è di un alluminio super brillante) e da un super tocco alla bicicletta. Se proprio si vuole trovare un difetto va detto che il pedale ha un verso di pedalata e questo è un pochino scomodo (nei pedali vintage su molti modelli c'è questo problema comunque ed oltretutto il pedale nasce anche per poterci montare le fascette) poiché, soprattutto nelle partenze prima si deve posizionare il pedale nel verso di pedalata e poi si può iniziare a pedalare (fermo restando che anche nell'altro verso si può pedalare ma il grip sulla scarpa non è analogo a quello del verso corretto). Detto questo lo ricomprerei altre mille volte

Simplicité, efficacité, look intemporel. Elles redonnent un coup de jeune à mon Raleigh de 1984
