Review: MKS Lambda / Grip King Pedals
Mine have held up thru three IA winters and they still spin great. They are fine quality pedals that spin smoothly. The metal nibs are not too sharp. They have a built in reflector.
The best feature, I think, is just the size. They are not crazy large but they are wider than your typical pedal. Your foot never has to hunt for a spot on the pedal to push. The design just works.
My very first ride with these "grippy" pedals was in the rain. Also one of my most terrifying rides. Wet, these pedals were super slippery. I added PowerGrips, and they became my favorite pedals. I also tried spiking them. The only problem with that was the pedals destroying my shoes.
I tried the PowerGrips with MKS touring pedals and hated it.
