MKS Sylvan Gordito Brass for Circles

Circles Exclusive MKS Brass & Black Painted Brass Pedals

This is a custom model that Circles spent three years developing from the concept stage, featuring side plates made of brass for MKS's classic pedals.

Unlike anodizing or electrodeposition coating, the black paint will peel off with use, revealing the brass underneath. The exposed brass will then oxidize, gradually tarnishing, and depending on the environment, verdigris may appear. This finish allows each user to enjoy a different aging process.

The side plates of the Raw model, finished with natural brass, will tarnish with age and use, but also offer the enjoyment of polishing them to restore their luster.

The Sylvan Gordito is designed with a large platform as its core concept, with a width of 94mm, similar to the MKS Sylvan Touring, but with a length extended by 22mm to 85mm. This makes it an ideal pedal not only for those who prefer a comfortable ride with easy pedaling, but also for those with larger feet.

This custom model features a black body, which is not available in the standard Sylvan Gordito, and the black paint allows for an all-black pedal specification.

The aluminum body is built around a hand-adjusted cup & cone bearing system, ensuring durability and smooth rotation. Maintenance can be performed using a special cap spanner.

[SPEC]

*W = Pedal width, L = Pedal length
*MKS adjusts the bearings to be slightly tight to extend the period before readjustment is needed. This tightness is called "preload." After some use, the initial "break-in" will occur, and the rotation will become smooth.
