MKS BM-7 Alloy Body & Plate Pedal - Silver

While durable, these pedals are primarily designed for BMX and similar riding styles. Their aggressive cage and lack of a smooth platform might be less comfortable for long-distance road cycling compared to road-specific pedals.

The BM-7 pedals feature mounting holes specifically designed to accept standard toe clips and straps. Slide the clip onto the front of the pedal and secure it with the strap, threading it through the designated slots.

With proper maintenance, the hand-adjusted cup and cone bearings can last a very long time. Regular cleaning and occasional adjustment will prolong their life significantly. Unlike sealed bearings, they are user-serviceable.

The BM-7 pedals are constructed with integrated or securely fastened cages. While very durable, replacement of an individual cage is generally not a standard user-serviceable part.

The primary difference is the updated alloy dust cap replacing the original black plastic one. The core design, materials (alloy body and cage), and bearing system remain true to the original.

Specific weight information is not provided, but being alloy construction with a robust cage, they are likely in a moderate weight range compared to modern ultra-lightweight composite pedals.

Check if the pedal is properly tightened into the crank arm. If the play persists, the cup and cone bearings may need adjustment or servicing.

This indicates the cup and cone bearings may be loose or lack sufficient lubrication. Adjustment or re-greasing of the bearings is recommended.

Ensure you are threading the correct pedal (L/R) into the correct crank arm and that the crank arm threads are clean and free of debris. Start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading.

Ensure your shoes have adequate tread and are clean. The pedals are designed for maximum grip, so if grip is poor, check footwear and consider using toe clips and straps for added security.
