MKS Sylvan Touring Pedals, Brass, for city bikes

Circles Exclusive MKS Brass & Black Painted Brass Pedals

Circles spent three years from the conceptual stage to create this exclusive model, using brass for the side plates of MKS's classic pedals.

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

The side plates of the Raw model, finished with natural brass, will tarnish with age, and can also be polished to bring out a new luster, offering another way to enjoy them.

The Sylvan Touring has the largest pedal platform in the Sylvan series and wide side plates, making it easy to adjust foot position. The different height undulations on the side plates support stable pedaling and reduce fatigue even during long rides. It's a classic model perfect for touring bikes like rando and sportifs, as it's easy to use with double-sided pedals and compatible with toe clips and straps.

The aluminum body is built around a hand-adjusted cup and cone bearing system, ensuring durability and smooth rotation. It can be maintained using a dedicated cap spanner.

[SPEC]

*W = Pedal platform width, L = Pedal platform front-to-back length
*MKS finishes its pedals with the ball bearings adjusted slightly tighter to extend the period before readjustment is needed. This tightness is called "pre-load." After some use, as the initial "break-in" occurs, they will rotate smoothly.
