I had been using MKS clipless pedals for the past few years. (The pedals in the pic is the US-S pedals)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve done 200km and 300km brevets so far, but I haven&#8217;t experienced knee pain yet. I think this is mainly because of the MKS clipless pedals. I&#8217;m saying this because I have had times where I used clipless pedals from other brands and had a weird feeling in my knees.<\/p>\n<p>What I like the most about MKS is that they are easy to clip in and out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/store.tsubasa-jp.pro\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/6a179525bb75583c2ede3103926f9f5d\/2\/0\/20260404-dsc02096_1.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here is the new pair of MKS pedals I have installed, the MKS MM-Cube. They were produced and sold from 2005 to 2013, and became super popular among riders back then. The pedals were reissued in 2016 in a very small batch.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/store.tsubasa-jp.pro\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/6a179525bb75583c2ede3103926f9f5d\/2\/0\/20260404-dsc02092_1.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We saw these pedals being quietly shown in a trade show by MKS. We didn&#8217;t know about this model and became very interested in them, so we asked if we can carry them and they said yes.<\/p>\n<p>I think silver clipless pedals are pretty rare these days. They give a nice classic look to a bike, so I&#8217;m loving mine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/store.tsubasa-jp.pro\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/6a179525bb75583c2ede3103926f9f5d\/_\/d\/_dsc04591.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yubamoto-san from MKS says that he still gets inquiries about these pedals to thiss day.<\/p>\n<p>The springs feel stronger than the US-S. It feels like the pedals are holding on to your shoes nice and tight, while having the ease to clip out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/store.tsubasa-jp.pro\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/6a179525bb75583c2ede3103926f9f5d\/d\/s\/dsc04618_1.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One thing you need to be careful is that it requires MKS cleats. You can&#8217;t use cleats from other brands. These MKS cleats have a wider heel which enables the riders to put more force when pedaling, compared to Shimano cleats.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/store.tsubasa-jp.pro\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/6a179525bb75583c2ede3103926f9f5d\/2\/0\/20260404-dsc02084_1.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Overall, this is probably my current favorite pedals. These are discontinued, so if you want a new pair of them, get them while you can.<\/p>\n<p>The MKS cleats are included, but <a href=\"https:\/\/global.tsubasa-jp.pro\/mks-mm-cube-cleat-set.html\">you can buy them separately<\/a>, so don&#8217;t you worry!
