MKS Promenade Brass for Circles
Circles' Special Order MKS Brass & Black Paint Brass Pedals
This is a custom-ordered model that Circles spent three years developing from the conceptual stage, featuring side plates made of brass, a material from MKS's classic pedals.
Unlike anodized or electrodeposited coatings, black paint will wear off with use, revealing the underlying brass. The exposed brass will then oxidize and gradually "tarnish," and depending on the usage environment, verdigris may appear. This finish allows for a different aging process for each user.
The side plates of the Raw model, finished with natural brass, will "tarnish" with age and use, offering the joy of polishing them to create a new luster.

The Promenade is a pedal that recreates a classic pedal design with modern technology. The beautifully rounded cage plates have a smooth shape with few irregularities, which is gentle on shoe soles and provides excellent grip. Its easy-to-use double-sided design makes it ideal for entry-level sports bike users.
The aluminum body is built around a hand-adjusted cup & cone bearing system, ensuring durability and smooth rotation. Maintenance can be performed using a dedicated cap spanner.

*W = width of tread, L = length of tread
*MKS adjusts the balls to be slightly tighter to extend the period until readjustment is needed. This tightness is called "preload." After some use, the initial "break-in" will occur, and they will rotate smoothly.
