Description
 
This looks like a cheap rat-trap pedals from the '70s, but it's excellent quality, lasts for years of hard use. A great choice for off-road, city, and general rough-stuff riding. Big foot support. Excellent pedal for toe-clipless riding, too, since both sides are the same. Easy to flip into if you use clips, as most people do. A favorite around here, and probably everybody should have one bike with a pair of these on it. They always feel good and grip.  

These are our widest pedals.  105mm from where the pedal attaches to the crank to the outermost part.  They weigh 390 grams/pair.  That's not bad. Priced per pair, of course.

Maintenance note: They come with a  "factory/assembly line adjustment," which isn't ultra smooth. If this bugs you, get a pedal dust cap tool, remove the dustcap, and readjust the bearings. SHOULD it bug you? Nope. The price is low, and even if you don't touch the adjustment, they'll smooth out over time, and you'll get years of good hard use from them. We say, put them on and forget 'em; but rest assured, they're easy to repack/service when the time comes.

Sold per pair.

Called the MK 4560 by MKS.

Excellent support, rain or shine. March 20, 2013
Reviewer: Michael from MD United States  
Excellent, full width foot support for a cat like me who wears a 9-9.5, M-W sneaker/casual shoe, USA.
I tried other pedals, and they all dig into my foot bottom - not wide enough.
But this Touring Pedal is great.  In rain, they are grippy with their ferocious teeth.
And don't believe anything you hear about pedal strike with this width pedal. I have used it on my Rivendell and also my race geometry bike with no pedal strike probs to be spoken of. I would say I have had a 98% clearance rate around all corners if I pedal through them (which is a no-no anyway). I think I scraped only thrice.
These pedals look really nice, too.
