I also like the looks of those mini clips. Maybe I'll put them on some antique pedals at my bike co-op
EDIT: are the MKS pedals sealed bearing? It doesnt say
And those mini-clips have no removal issues so they would be the most safe? of everything ever?
The MKS all have loose-bearings - 1/8th inch. And they require overhauling with cleaning and fresh grease. They tend to come overtightened and dry as a bone.
The GR-9 really need toe-clips to work right. I guess one
could ride them without, but I doubt it would be comfortable. As for overhauling the pedals, this seems to be a dying art that I'm trying to get people to pay attention to. Many people have never heard of doing this. As a result, they ride tight (or totally loose) pedals with no grease. Then they complain that this or that brand bites and ask for advice for another pedal. MKS often is hated by those who don't overhaul 'em. But overhauled and properly adjusted, they are very nice and inexpensive.
