FAQs
Do these pedals come with toe clips?
No, the MKS Sylvan Track Next pedals do not include toe clips; they must be purchased separately.
Can I use these pedals for daily commuting?
They are designed for racing; while they can be used for commuting, the one-sided nature makes them less convenient for quick starts and stops than dual-sided platform pedals.
What is the threading size for these pedals?
They feature the standard 9/16" thread, which is compatible with almost all modern adult bicycle crank arms.
Are these pedals left and right specific?
Yes, like all pedals, they are side-specific. The left pedal has a reverse thread and will be marked with an 'L'.
Do I need special shoes for these?
They are designed for use with cycling shoes or sneakers held in place by toe clips and straps.
Troubleshooting
Pedal feels stiff or gritty
Clean external debris from the seal and ensure the pedal is not over-tightened against the crank arm face.
Difficulty entering the toe clip
Ensure the toe clip is properly sized for your shoe and that the strap is tensioned correctly to hold the pedal upright.
Pedal creates clicking sound while pedaling
Verify that the pedal is fully torqued into the crank arm and that the toe clip mounting bolts are tight.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your crank arms have standard 9/16" threading. Use a 15mm pedal wrench to tighten them, remembering that the left pedal is reverse-threaded. Since these pedals are designed for track use, they must be paired with compatible toe clips and straps. To maintain, avoid spraying water directly into the bearing seals. Occasionally check the cartridge bearings for any play; if the rotation becomes gritty, the bearings can be serviced or replaced by a professional shop to restore the 'silky' feel.
