I'm super excited about the pedals. They feel super smooth. Gonna try to get out on a "test ride" tomorrow.
Yeah, they look like they could have come off some MKS's which I love no matter what. I sometimes cleanup the sharp edges if they seem to want to chew them up especially with stiff new ones.
You can knock the fraying down a lot sometimes with dressing after the fact too, I've had very good results many times, works best if they're off and you squeeze them through a handful in both directions and let it soak in.
