Flat pedals for toe clips?
 

Time to replace my 10 yo pedals that I was using with toe clips.

Any recommendations for modern decent quality pedals that can last?

Good quality flats I see on internet these days don't accept toe clips and those that can, come with a combination of a single cheap ball bearing and a plastic sleeve that holds the other side of the pedal axle.

Check out MKS pedals. They still have toe clip seed styles available, though you might have to settle for track style models.

If you search diligently you'll find lots of offerings, either used or NOS.

Good quality cup/cone quill pedals can last a long time. But they are just like hubs in that they need to be maintained and properly adjusted.

The typical MKS road model is the Sylvan. Cup/cone pedals don’t need a “break-in” period. If they are not smooth, open them up, and make sure they are greased, and adjust them.

I can’t speak of the build quality of the new MKS pedals vs. the ones from the 80’s, but 10 years seems too short of a pedal life.

Here's one more endorsement for MKS pedals. Great quality at a nice price. Many styles to suit most needs.

Thank you. Watched a few videos on how to service tge Sylvan, seems to be a straight forward task. I just placed an order for Sylvan Touring pedals, I'm sure they will be fine.

There is a handy dust cap removal tool which is very helpful in doing the required maintenance. Search on "MKS pedal dust cap spanner". IME most pedals come skimpily greased and adjusted too tight from the factory.

What pedals are you replacing?

I'd look at the MKS "Urban Platform" pedal. It's derived from the venerable Lyotard mod. 23 pedal, and has a wide tab for easy entry into the clip. My only objection to it is that it doesn't accommodate slotted cleats, but if you're not using cleats, that isn't an issue.

Old budget cup and cone Wellgo's that came with the bike. I might regrease them and put on another bike.
