MKS Urban Platform Pedals 9/16" Chromoly Axle Alloy Body With Flip Tongue Silver

The motion for flipping the pedal upright to insert one's foot inside the cage is exceptionally well-designed. I highly recommend this pedal to anyone who rides fixed gear and with toe cages.;

Real beauties these pedals. Am going to put 'em on my '84 Andre Bertin roadie with green anodized cages and straps- it's gonna look bitchin'!;

I am happy in fact pleased with these pedals. First off these are pretty much for use with clips only and in my opinion the only pedals with such an effective tab for flipping ones foot back in the pedal.

Ok the good well these are well made and as a person who has destroyed pedals in spills the level of toughness
matters. The flippers on the back i think are the feature that defines them.

They are a slightly less wide pedal and this is made more pronounced by the more rounded off profile of the pedals. Another person who reviewed these complained about the size and more importantly the inside nubs on these pedals and i thought they were being over critical. I am still on the fence when it comes to these nubs and it all depends on foot & shoe size & s tread ect.. You may want to be prepared to cut them off or down. I have VERY large feet and use pedal extenders and had to find the largest toe clips just to have ones that work and i am accustomed to the task of customizing my bike to accommodate my size. An FYI for those not afflicted with large size or weight they may make larger framed bikes but every other component of the bike is not changed to make accommodations.;

Was having trouble finding pedals that allowed me to mount my MKS toe cages on to my casual use commuting road bike and these did the job perfectly.

They're well built very smooth and sturdy.

Previously I was using "welgo" pedals and these are far superior in quality allows you to get more of your power down with the internal bearings being so smooth.

The little tab allows you to properly orient the pedals to allow you to slip your foot into the toe cages with ease.

Genius design.;

I put these on my more casual ride-for-transportation bike (I have SPD cleats/clipless pedals for my main "ride to ride" bike) and paired them with the MKS's leather wrapped half clips. The pedals are light weight spin with ease and I think look great.

Because of the way these are weighted the really do need to have toe clips to make sure they fall to the right position for the pedal flipper to be useful. Personally I find the MKS half clips ideal compared to a clip/strap solution. Since most of my riding is with cleat/clipless it is very unnatural to pull my foot backward to release when using straps. The half clips mean I can use basically the same motion to remove my foot from either pedals but still have a firm support for being able to deliver power to the pedals on both the push and pull strokes.

Highly recommended.;
