Adding spikes to MKS Grip Kings

[Jason D]

It looks like Riv is sold out of the pedal spikes, but I'm guessing I can find them at the hardware store - https://www.rivbike.com/collections/pedals/products/pedal-spikes-32.  I'm curious if anyone has done this? If so do you have any tips or tricks or is it so easy a caveman can do it? (The caveman in this scenario being me.)

Hey Jason,

I thought they used to have a video on their website on how to add screws to their Grip Kings, but maybe not. I couldn't find one just now. I did this about a year ago and it's pretty simple-- just use a drill with a 3/32" bit, drill through the holes/pockets where you want the screws, then screw 'em in! I was nervous to take a drill to my pedals, but it all worked out fine. I believe I put 8 per side, 4 front/4rear. Very, very grippy. I was trying to mimic the grip of some Race Face Chester pedals I have on another bike and it worked great.

Best of luck!

I will second Erik's description. Two caveats: drill somewhere where you you don't mind metal shavings and can clean up (like the floor of a workshop). The dining room table isn't appropriate, or at least that's what my partner tells me. Second, they are REALLY grippy. I had some shoes with smooth rubber soles, and the grips chewed them up a bit. Not a big deal, but good to know.

I haven't regretted doing it at all - definitely made them much safer-feeling in the rain!

Yeah, you can easily find these at any well-stocked hardware store! You want to make sure the hole you drill isn’t too big, otherwise they’ll be prone to falling out. I suggest getting a little Loctite to keep them secure as well.

Extremely easy process with the correct drill bit.
