Cleats? Looks like one of those flexible Japanese hand saws. Ouch!

nice find... but OUCH

Those look like they could take off a ankle or a foot. But are sweet looking

my shins hurt just looking at those.

jeezus, those look like meat saws!!!

cheese grater looking.....only way worse

I used to sharpen my KKT's teeth with a file, buku grip, but slipping a pedal ment guaranteed blood flow.

Made in Traverse City Michigan, that could explain alot

Holy cats... them look dangerous.

Holy crap those things look dangerous.. I would guess that the set you have may be one of a VERY few that weren't recalled for lopping off a tibia.

Rare find I'm sure.

Whats dural aliminum ?

Brought to you by the same people that cant spell chromoly, er, cromolly, uh.....chrome-olly.....dang!

Legs are already ripped, how about shaving?

circa 1980 - great idea


circa 2007 - lawsuit city

MCP = McLain Cycle Products.

My local shop bitd and sponsor for many years.

Those came out in 1978 and ran until the Shimano DX took over. We used them on Reedy's, Suntour's, KKT Lightnings, Kingsbury's [drilling modification needed] and of course, rat-traps.

Distributed through Everything Bicycles for a while. Anthony Sewell, Lee Medlin and few other notables were known to use them.

A few from my saved stash.


On My DeCoster just like I had back then.


MCP also made rollers and did quite well with those over the years, still made today. web page

Whats your beef with TC Cheez?

Ahhh yes, the sight of Kingsbury pedals with cleats installed....The tell-tale indicator to a manufacturer that the world market is begging for an improved pedal !!! lol........Enter the DX.... and the Bear Trap... exit all others.

I think I actually had a set of them (in blue ?) for a very short while bitd.

If memory serves me correctly, I witnessed a nasty crash at our local track bitd because of them. If one screw fell out (especially early in a race) they were free to swing around, and then....well, you can figure out how that could play out in a few different forms of disaster....Hitting the ground, hitting the cranks, not letting your foot back on the pedal.....all of the above all at once...lol.

ahahahaaaa - very cool.

And if you need a shave between motos.... lol

I guess Gary Ellis never used em...

Holy crap! I used to file my KKT's too but those are savage lookin' beasts. I bet they worked great.

Sorry Randy, should have used , just razin the Mi guys, no harm/foul intended. Hey I live in Marseilles IL, even the locals refer to it as MAR-TUCKEY.

OOps, damn, did it again. Now people from Kentuckey are gonna get ****ed

Wow. I thought my Hutch pedals were brutal!!!
That seriously looks like saw blades bolted onto crappy pedals. The 80s were scaaaaaaaary...

The 80s were great, the mid to late 70s were even better.

"the mid to late 70s were even better."

AMEN!

I think the over all opinion here is that they look like they would hurt!

Hey I remember the rollers.They rocked in the winter months.Did you guys have the big van with the HHHUUUUGEEE SE wing sticker on the back window?

Oh those pedals are cheap. It's my daughters rider. Yes I'll be taking those things off. Curious to see what they looked like.
