9/16" Pedals from Harris Cyclery

All pedals shown on this page use standard 9/16 x 20 threading. They fit virtually all bikes that have 3-piece or two-piece cranks.

If your bike uses old American-style one-piece cranks, you need the 1/2" x 20 thread size.
Those are listed on our American One piece Crank page

Some older French bikes used the 14 x 1.25 mm size.
Pedals in that size are extinct, but you can tap the cranks out to fit standard 9/16 x 20 pedals.

We ship hard-to-find parts, tools and accessories all over the world

New! 9/16" to 1/2" Pedal Thread Adaptors $44.95 buy button

These adaptor bushings have a male 1/2"-20 thread to fit into your one-piece crank, and a standard 9/16"-20 female thread that will let you install standard 9/16" pedals, even modern clipless pedals.

These install with a standard 6 mm Allen wrench.

"Kneesaver" Pedal Spacers $44.95 buy button

These are similar to the adaptors above, except they have standard 9/16"-20 threading on both ends. Some riders with unusual leg structure benefit from a wider pedal tread ("Q factor") and these spacers provide that.

Cleats

We stock cleats for Shimano SPD, Look and Speedplay pedals but have not yet had time to add them to the Web site.

We do not sell cleats for use with traditional pedals and toe clips. If you are going to use cleats, we strongly advise using clipless pedals.

Toe-Clippable Pedals

NEW! Pedalite Flashing LED Safety Pedals $59.95 buy button

pedalite

The unique battery-free Pedalite pedal lights for bicycles have been designed to "make cyclists more visible to motorists day and night, from a distance of more than a half mile away and from any angle, including the side".

As soon as you start pedalling the Pedalite pedals uniquely harvest and store a small amount of energy so the lights continue to flash when the cyclist is freewheeling or has stopped at a road junction.

Half Toe Clips for Pedalite Pedals $11.95 buy button


MKS

MKS is Japan's major manufacturer of conventional toe-clippable pedals. These are very high quality, but supply is spotty.

New!  MKS Grip King (Lambda) Platform Pedals PD532 $54.95 buy button

MKS pedals

Designed by Rivendell.

118mm heel-to-toe length makes this a great choice for cyclists who prefer to ride in soft soled shoes. 32mm platform width maintains good pedal clearance. Aluminum body, CrMo spindle.
These are not toe-clippable.

Bearings can be serviced/adjusted in the traditional manner.

MKS GR-9 Platform Pedals PD535 $29.95 buy button

MKS pedals

Many younger cyclists don't know about platform pedals, and misuse the term to refer to various MTB/BMX designs. This is the only traditional platform pedal still in production. For use only with toe clips.

The large-area platform top makes this a great choice for cyclists who prefer to ride in soft soled shoes. The large flip-up tab makes getting into the clips a snap. Unlike older platform pedals, the flip-up tab still works even if you install pedal reflectors. Aluminum body, CrMo spindle.

Bearings can be serviced/adjusted in the traditional manner.

Width from arm = 85 mm Weight = 295 grams/pair.

PD560 MKS Pedal Dust Caps for GR-9/AR-2 $4.95 EACH buy button

These fit the MKS GR-9 and AR-2 pedals only.

See also the The Shimano PD-A530 Dual-Purpose Pedals.

MKS Sylvan Road Pedals $39.95 buy button

MKS pedals

This is a knock-off of the classic Campagnolo road "quill" design. Aluminum body, CrMo spindle. Some people find the protruding "quill" at the outside edge uncomfortable.

Bearings can be serviced/adjusted in the traditional manner.

Width from arm = 102 mm Weight = 350 grams/pair.

MKS AR-2 Road Pedals $39.95 buy button

MKS pedals

Similar to the Sylvan Road, but without the tall prong on the outer end, a better fit for wide feet.

Bearings can be serviced/adjusted in the traditional manner.

Width from arm = 103 mm Weight = 295 grams/pair.
This pedal also available in a Quick Release Version!

(There's some confusion about the model name of these. Supposed to be "AR-2" but the type face used on the pedals makes it unclear whether the first letter is an "A" or an "R".)

PD560 MKS Pedal Dust Caps for GR-9/AR-2 $4.95 EACH buy button

These fit the MKS GR-9 and AR-2 pedals only.

MKS Touring Pedals $29.95 buy button

MKS pedals

These are longish "rat trap" type pedals. Aluminum body, CrMo spindle. A good choice for riders with wide feet.

Bearings can be serviced/adjusted in the traditional manner.

Width from arm = 115 mm Weight = 385 grams/pair.

MKS RX-1 Track Pedals $123.95 buy button

MKS pedals

These are gorgeous high-end track pedals, made for Keirin racing. They're beautifully finished, and the bearings are amazingly smooooooooooth, like '70s Campagnolo or maybe even better! Minimalist design for light weight and excellent ground clearance.

Bearings can be serviced/adjusted in the traditional manner.

Width from arm = 94 mm Weight = 280 grams/pair.

MKS Sylvan Track Pedals $39.95 buy button

MKS pedals

This is a knock-off of the classic Campagnolo track pedal. Aluminum body, CrMo spindle. These are very nice, with excellent road clearance. (Track pedals are a minimalist variation on traditional clip-and-strap type pedals, with a cutaway outer portion for better clearance.)

Bearings can be serviced/adjusted in the traditional manner.

Width from arm = 89 mm Weight = 340 grams/pair.

MKS Pedal Dust Caps $4.95 EACH buy button

These fit most MKS pedals, including Sylvan Road, Sylvan Track and Touring models. They also may fit older Campagnolo and some Sun Tour pedals.

They do not fit the MKS GR-9 nor the folding models.

Pedals for Folding/Travel Bikes

MKS AR-2 Quick Release Road Pedals $69.95 buy button

MKS pedals

Quick Release Version of the AR-2 Road Pedal. Thes have a nifty quick release fitting that works just like a high-pressure compressed-air coupler. When the pedal is removed, the coupler only protrudes 19 mm from the side of the crank. Includes drawstring carrying bag.

(There's some confusion about the model name of these. Supposed to be "AR-2" but the type face used on the pedals makes it unclear whether the first letter is an "A" or an "R".)

Width from arm = 105 mm Weight = 340 grams/pair.
This pedal also available in a Conventional Version

MKS MM Cube Clipless Quick Release Pedals $109.95 buy button

Sandals & Shoes

We sell shoes in our store, but don't think it's generally a good idea to buy them by mail order, since you can't try them on.

We do make an exception for sandals, because the fitting is much less critical.
