MKS pedal hack

Thought I'd share this idea as it has worked out quite well. I obtained a pair of MKS CR-2 pedals as I liked the width (11cm inside edge to quill) and the bearings felt good. I chopped the unnecessary bits off then needed to concoct flip tabs (or whatever they're called) as they do not come with any. Probably never intended to be used with toe cages. As you can see, I fashioned loops from SS spokes and fed them thru the unused mounting holes at the back. I then bent the front ends down 90deg and formed loops on each end to wrap around the mounting screws for the toe clips. They have worked out very well. Maybe even better than conventional tabs due to the length and being a bit closer to the top of the pedal.

"if you know someone in a similar situation, or if you are in a similar situation......"

My hacked pedal. the spoke under the toe cage is just to hold the it up for photo shoot. Removed right after.
