I have MKS touring pedals on all my bikes except one, which has
Atomlab Trail Kings (old model with thicker platform). I want to try
new thinner Trail kings but they are pricey, and MKS touring pedals
already work so well that it's hard to justify it at this point.

Re-reading your original post it seems you are not necessarily looking to
change away from a clipless pedal, only looking to cure your hot-spot
problems?
In that case I might recommend the Shimano A520 pedal if you still want
clipless but need a wider support platform to get rid of hot
As Pete said, the A520 SPD provides broader foot support that I find
more comfortable on longer rides. The step up from that pedal is the

between the two when I am riding.
I like the A530 on my touring/cargo bike. If I start to fee
Michael,
Before you blame the pedals, what about your shoes? With proper sole
support you really shouldn't have a hot spot. Perhaps a new pair of
insoles or some orthotics would be worth a try?

My 2 cents here is the Tioga Spyders are close in shape to the Grip
Kings but have the spikes already installed. I use them on my
singlespeed. More preferable, for me, are BMX pedals with a nice wide
footbed and plenty of grip.

I found the MKS G-9s to be too narrow, and my size 12s (I wear 13s in
some shoes) felt like the were rolling off the side. Also, they were
slippery in the wet.
I upgraded them with skateboard grip tape (http://www.biketinker.com/

Hi All,

was painted by Joe Bell. Its built up like a mountain bike right now.

Thanks Rene! That's praise from Caesar, considering how beautiful
your bikes are. Lee beat me to it; you can orient the SONdelux either
way w/o issue. I flipped it to the left side, b/c that's where I want

Very clever design to minimize the wear and tear internally by rotating the
wheel either way. One question, is it rebuildable/refurbishable like its
predecessor, SON 28?
