Re: [RBW] WTB: MKS urban pedals

I second your assessment of the buttery smooth bearings.
They feel like premium racing pedals and look great on any era of bike.

One could always amputate the outer vanes of the flip tab with a hacksaw 
and file if its too much.

[RBW] Re: 10-speed Cassette with Sunrace Friction Shifters.

[Joey Korkames]

I find it difficult to friction shift 8+ speed clusters with "set it and

Trimming a 10sp must require a tailor's touch!
