Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)3.5 stars.
I've ridden several models of older [80's] MKS pedals for years, and was looking for pedal options on my fixed-gear. I wanted a slightly bigger platform, without getting too wide.
Out of the box, these were a bit disappointing: cheap finish, pop-off dust cap disguised as threaded, "crunchy" overtightened bearing that needed more grease...
On the plus side, they're light (144g/per), have good clearance for avoiding pedal strikes(!), and hang well with toe clips, putting the tab in easy reach.
Unfortunately the rear plate is thin, with 90 degree edges. It's a holdover from old school race shoes, and digs into softer soles [an angle grinder helped things]. BUT, the front section is nice and thick; These pedals are a comfort upgrade from standard one-piece quills, and even some track pedals.
All in all, these are decent, lightweight, budget pedals for fixie, etc if you ride hard-soled shoes. For street shoes I'd recommend MKS GR-9's over the Sylvan Lites. A few bucks more, and you've got a lot more functionality (and surface area).
Mash safe out there.

Great pedals for Road or Track riding. Similar in design to the GR-9 platform pedals, except designed for use with regular shoes or slotted cleats. You can also use these with toe clips and straps! Aluminum alloy cages, alloy bodies and steel spindles - NO PLASTIC! Made in Japan by Mikashima. Standard 9/16 threads to fit almost all cranks.
