MKS BM-7 Brass For Circles

Circles special order MKS brass & black painted brass pedals

This is a custom model that Circles spent three years developing from the concept stage, in which the side panels of MKS 's classic pedal were manufactured from brass.

Unlike anodized aluminum or electro-deposition paint, the black paint will peel off over time, revealing the brass base. The exposed base metal will then oxidize and gradually become dull, and depending on the usage environment, a verdigris pattern may appear. This is a finish that allows each user to enjoy different changes over time.

The sides of the Raw model are made from bare brass and will become dull with use over time. You can also have fun polishing them to bring out a new shine.

The BM-7 is a 2012 reissue of the BMX pedal that was popular in the 1970s. The side panels have a fine wavy design that fits perfectly with the soles of sneakers, making them ideal for use on BMX, MTB, gravel bikes, cross bikes, etc. The slight concave curve towards the center keeps the sole of the foot in the center of the pedal, supporting stable pedaling.

The aluminum body is built around a hand-tuned cup and cone bearing system for durability and smooth rotation, and can be easily serviced using a dedicated cap spanner .

[SPEC]

At MKS, in order to extend the time between readjustments, the balls are adjusted so that they hit the balls a little tightly. This contact is called "preload."
After using it for a while, the balls will start to "break in" and will start to turn smoothly.
