One advantage of MKS detachables not mentioned so far is that the standard pedals can be swopped over to the clippless version for when higher preformance is reguired ,best of both worlds? The clippness is simular to SPD but users MKS cleats. I have this set up ,but curently I am using MKS fp folding. but if I start doing a longer commutes I have the potential to swop to either detachable option as reguired.Ie standard pedals for local riding, and clippness for longer commutes
