I idly gave my MKS touring pedals a spin this morning and discovered that the left side didn’t spin freely as it should; this after all the work I’d done. But now, with my new found knowledge it was short work to open them up and loosen the cone a bit, just a wee bit, and put ’em back together. It’s all good again.
And, because of the accident yesterday I decided I needed a treat. So I pulled the trigger on the Grip Kings, also known as Lambdas as it turns out. Now as happy as I am to support small business, sometimes the difference in price is just too great to ignore. I found the pedals at $32 compared to the $54 at some other locations. If it were $50 vs $54 I might go with the smaller guys, but…
In any case it’ll be a while before they show up and I’ve a bunch of other stuff coming in so it’s not high on my list of things to think about.
Finally it seems my passport has been delivered. I sent my passport in to be renewed per the instructions I found at the U.S. Department of State website. I suspect it’ll take a lot longer to get my passport back than it will to get my new pedals, but at least things are in the works.
Aloha!
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
