No joke, I already carry around a wrench,
but it's for general use, not just my pedals.
That said, I've been looking for an easier solution for my pedals,
so it's very timely that I noticed this thread.

Can anyone explain how the quick-release works on the MKS pedals?
Is it like a hose quick-release? (push to lock, and pull to release)

Oh, wait...do they just screw on and off?
