What's wrong with MKS? I'd say GR-9s personally, never used them, but a lot of people seem to like them.

Your cog is slipping.
Wellgo RO-25B FTW. Sealed bearings, small size and much more comfortable than Sylvans.

I'll be honest, I have no idea what the **** you want.
You want them to be track pedals, but not clipless or MKS. People ride clipless on the track. The only other 'track' pedal is something like a Sylvan, but that's MKS. I guess you want All City or Wellgo? Why not MKS? If it's because of look, you're not getting a track pedal that doesn't look like something MKS makes.

Also, I don't think hold fasts play nicely with those WI's.
Also, what's your deal with MKS if you already ride them? If it's a comfort issue, I get it, but if you don't really notice it that much now, then I'm confused. I mean I get component-lust just as much as the next guy, but I'm constantly blown away by how many people insist on fixing things that aren't even broken.

I like the Wellgos over GR-9s because I found that my size 12 feet would hang over the outer edge of GR-9s and create a weird hot spot on my foot on long rides and my pinky toe would become numb and/or throb. Despite the RO-25Bs looking so small, I've had no issues with them at all and sealed cartridge bearings are a definite plus.
