I just checked in at Velo Orange and it they have a really nice looking sealed cartridge platform pedal. Check it out here: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/pedals/grand-cru-sabot-pedals.html It looks like it's shorter than the GK's at 10 cm (picture on Riv shows GK's at 11.5 cm),

I've only ridden this set for a month or so, but the tape hasn't moved. The MKS pedals worked great for many months but a couple weeks of hot days made the tape slide gradually off the metal. The tape on my wooden pedal decks has never budged at all. I think the tape will stick to the MG1s bette

I've done it on MG1s with grip tape on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/philipwilliamson/8354821866/ I'm way overdue writing up a blog post for it. Grip tape is sticky, and you can cut it with an Xacto knife, either on the pedal, or before applying. MKS GR9s with grip tape: http://www.biket
