I think those were the ones that came stock on my dahon. They broke on my ride home from the store. I bought MKS quick release pedals. I have not been happy with the MKS pedals. Unless I use toe clips they don't feel very secure on my feet. Also, it seems the little easy-to-loose black plastic clips are absolutely critical to keep the hose coupler from working its way over and letting your pedal go skidding on the asphalt. If I had to do it over, I would just use standard pedals and take a wrench when I travel.
