PSA: New MKS Pretzel pedals coming out next month

[Kim H.]

I came across  these new MKS Pretzel pedals, while looking for something else on the MKS website. They definitely look like they a twist to them, like a pretzel.  Curious as to whether or not they would accept the cage extension that currently RBW sells.

It seems like that kind of like what this is by default. There was once a time when there were few good flat pedals on the market and now it seems wide open with just so many great options. Its odd to see new variations still coming out.

The Pretzel pedal has the cage extension BUILT IN.  You won't need the cage extension with the Pretzel.  It's already in there.

I’ve seen it in-person and … I’ll pass.

It kind of looks like a mash-up of my two favorite MKS pedals, the Sneaker Pedal and the Gamma/Monarch. I'm def curious about these. 

[Justin Kennedy]

I just received two sets of these pedals from Japan (one in silver and one in black). Haven't put them on a bike yet but they're essentially MKS Monarch's with the Riv pedal wings built in. Some minor differences but that's the gist of it. Looks like they're panda-able, too, same way the Monarchs can be switched out to mix and match colors. These were $50 (shipping included) from Amazon Japan but looks like the price has since gone up. Blue Lug is selling them, too, for just under $50 but gotta pay that $$$ shipping. Anyone else tried them yet?

Justin et al: Anyone had a chance to try these pretzels yet? Let me know, very curious. 

Anyone remember those dreadful "Must be the pretzels!" commercials from the mid 90s?

I  put them on my cargo bike and all I can really say is they’re big and grippy! Lmk if you’d like a pair. I still have the silvers available. Don’t think I’ll be replacing the Monarchs on my Platy.

I just picked up a silver set to go on my Polyvalent, they arrived yesterday. I think they're gorgeous and the platform is gigantic. My friend had the same thought, essentially a fancier version of Riv's riff on the monarchs.
