Product Information
Full details
The MKS FD-7 Folding Pedals are the ideal upgrade for urban cyclists, commuters, and folding bike owners who need to maximize space efficiency without sacrificing performance. These pedals offer the key benefit of a robust, flat-folding mechanism that allows bikes to fit easily into tight storage spaces or transit bags, though users should be aware that the aggressive grip requires caution to avoid scuffs on delicate footwear.

FAQs
Will these fit any bicycle?
These pedals fit any crank arm with a standard 9/16 inch thread, which covers most adult bicycles.
Can I replace the reflectors?
The reflectors are integrated into the design; while they are replaceable if damaged, it is recommended to keep them for safety.
Are these pedals suitable for long-distance touring?
While durable, they are optimized for commuting and folding; long-distance tourers may prefer fixed platform pedals.
Which side is the left pedal?
The left pedal is marked with an 'L' on the spindle and has reverse threads to prevent it from loosening while pedaling.
Do I need special tools to install them?
A standard 15mm pedal wrench is required for proper installation.
Troubleshooting
Pedal feels stiff when folding
Clean the hinge area with a degreaser and apply a small drop of bicycle lubricant to the pivot point.
Pedal develops play or 'click' during pedaling
The bearing tension may need adjustment; consult a local bike shop or perform a standard cup-and-cone bearing service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The FD-7 pedals utilize a standard 9/16 inch thread, making them compatible with the vast majority of modern adult bicycle crank arms.
- Installation: Use a 15mm pedal wrench. Remember that the left pedal is reverse-threaded (turn counter-clockwise to tighten), while the right pedal follows standard threading (turn clockwise to tighten).
- Folding Operation: Pull the collar mechanism toward the crank arm and pivot the pedal cage 90 degrees until it locks against the crank.
- Care: Keep the folding pivot point clean of road grit. A light application of bicycle-grade lubricant on the hinge every few months will ensure the mechanism continues to operate smoothly.
