FAQs

What material are the MKS Grafight A XX pedals made from?

They are constructed from durable glass fibre reinforced plastic.

How do these pedals ensure good grip?

They feature 21 protrusions of three different shapes designed to provide superior grip and keep shoes stable.

Are these pedals waterproof and dustproof?

Yes, they incorporate a labyrinthine dust seal which offers dust-proof and water-sealing properties.

What type of bearings do they use?

They utilize a smooth and durable cup and cone bearing system.

Are these pedals easy to maintain?

Yes, their simple construction makes for easy maintenance.

What is the thread size for these pedals?

They use the standard 9/16" thread size, compatible with most cranksets.

Can I use these pedals for downhill or aggressive riding?

While durable, the plastic construction is best suited for BMX disciplines like street, park, and trails. For extreme downhill, metal pedals might offer more rigidity.

Troubleshooting

Pedals feel stiff or don't spin freely

Check that the pedals are properly threaded and tightened. If issues persist, the cup and cone bearings may require adjustment or lubrication. Consult a bike mechanic if unsure.

Excessive play or wobble in the pedal

The cup and cone bearings may be loose. Attempt to tighten the bearing adjustment if accessible, or seek professional service for bearing adjustment.

Shoes slipping off the pedals

Ensure your shoes have suitable soles for pedal grip. Clean any mud or debris from both the pedals and your shoe soles. The 21 protrusions are designed for grip; ensure they are not excessively worn.

Pedal body damage (cracks)

Inspect the pedal body for any signs of cracks, especially after impacts. If damage is found, the pedal should be replaced for safety.
