Retrogression: MKS GR-10


Newly introduced for 2013 are the MKS GR-10 pedals. The GR-10′s are for those of you out therethat a wider platform, I love my GR-9′s but I can see if you have a wide foot then the 9′s would be an issue.

Fyxation: Mesa 61 Alloy Pedals Now Shipping!


Fyxation just gave me the heads up that their Mesa 61 Alloy Pedals are now Shipping. If you’re looking for a light weight platform pedal look no further.

Details:
We are pleased to announce that our Mesa 61 alloy platform pedal is finally in stock and available through your local Fyxation dealer. The Mesa 61 is versatile platform pedal that looks just as good on your urban assault vehicle as it does on your snow ready fat bike. Weighing in at only 380 grams/pair, the Mesa 61 is an all purpose durable thin platform pedal made out of lightweight 6061 aluminum, includes 20 stout replaceable pins and is anodized for durability.

The Mesa 61 rounds out our current line up of Mesa pedals that includes our nylon Mesa and Mesa MP (metal pin) pedals. The Mesa line of pedals was originally designed to offer a wide platform for urban cyclists but was quickly embraced by many different styles of riders due to it’s versatility, durability and affordability. The Mesa ($47.95), Mesa MP ($59.95) and now the Mesa 61 ($96.95) all offer a wide, thin platform and include sealed bearings, DU bushing and a cro-moly spindle. The Mesa 61 is also pedal strap compatible and works with most of the popular pedal straps currently on the market.
