Review on 🚴 MKS Sylvan Touring Pedals - Silver, 2 Piece Set: Unmatched Quality and Style for Your Riding Experience by Bill Wasson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent value for money Pedals and Cleats

Mechanical restoration of a 1992 Haro MTN bike for use as a hybrid exercise bike/touring bike. The original Deore M550 pedals were finally phased out on July 4th. What was needed was a durable, economical, wide, conventional pedal set that could be user serviced. Arrived as advertised and easy to install. As mentioned in other reviews the bearings were a little tight and while they should be worn I adjusted and looked at the design features. The bottom brackets are sealed with a custom-fit plastic/polymer seal. The outer bearing cone and locknut design makes it very easy to adjust/repair, and the screw-on end cap renders the entire assembly bulletproof. These pedals are very well made and can be disassembled and rebuilt or oiled if necessary. Offers a wide safe platform for the short trip I was able to make tonight. I wear 10-4E shoes and have always been annoyed with the original pedals. It's not like this. Paired with a set of inexpensive strapless leg clips, they proved excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
