Looking to buy a set of Campy (quill) touring pedals, with or without toe clips and straps. Please let me know what you may have.
Thanks,
Dave

I'll add to this WTB post that I'll also consider TA pedals.
Thanks,
Dave

There are a variety of older Campy pedals on eBay.

I'm watching about a dozen of the auctions, though I would rather buy from one of the fine folks on the forum.
Thanks.

I've been watching auctions for Campy pedals for about a week now. Some Campy pedals, nothing fancy looking, have gone for well over $100! Maybe I'll stick with my MKS pedals.

I got a pair of the standard touring MKS pedals. I was a little disappointed on how rough they felt as I spun them by hand. I disassembled the pedals, packed the bearings and adjusted the tension. Now they are smooth. I can hardly wait 'till the spring thaw so I can ride my damn bike!

Were they new when you bought them? I will be very disappointed as well if the bearings are rough. My inexpensive Odyssey BMX pedals are but I didn't expect a lot of them.
Take care and Happy Holidays!

Maybe 'rough' was a little harsh. 'Grindy' might be more appropriate. I'm told they will break in, but being winter I have not much else to do. When I opened up the pedals there was a very slight amount of grease in them, so I liberally applied Phil grease. Made 'em smoother. The MKS pedals can be adjusted just like cup and cone wheels.

Thats a bit strange to hear of since ive always known the MKS pedals to be reasonably good right out of the box,possibly a newbie assembling the pedals in the factory.
Its always best to pull apart anything such as this to double check it before use especially when grease and tolerance settings are important for proper break-in.
Granted you shouldnt have to do it, but then its for yourself so a quick check over is always best.

Its time to ride.
