MaxLinux 1,144 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I recently put Chicway honeycomb pedals on my MSX. I don't know how they fit on other Gotway wheels, but they are not ideal on the MSX because: 1. They are very tight and snug, so they do not flip up and down freely. 2. The pedal angle is too steep, even steeper than the original MSX pedals. 3. Chicway says the height is "adjustable" but the only adjustment available is by adding a spacer to make the angle even steeper. Chicway claims the pedals fit "all Gotway models." Yes, they fit the MSX in the sense that they can be attached, but most people who read that pedals "fit" are expecting a better result. Most people who read that pedals are adjustable would expect that a super steep angle could be lowered. Bear in mind, I am commenting specifically on how these pedals fit the MSX. The pedals themselves are very nice. They look and feel very high quality. The built-in spikes provide a secure grip. They look much cooler on the MSX than the original pedals. But if you have a MSX and are considering Chicway pedals, I have to advise against them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaxLinux 1,144 Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 (edited) I ended up filing the pedals for a lower angle and for a looser fit against the spacers. Now they flip up and down freely and have about the same angle as the original MSX pedals. In the attached photo one can see the pedal angle after filing (left) and the ridiculously steep angle before filing (right). Edited February 16 by MaxLinux Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Wood 166 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Did you file the pedals or the hangers and how did you do that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaxLinux 1,144 Posted Saturday at 05:30 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 05:30 AM I filed the pedals, not the hangers, by clamping them in a vise with 2 layers of cardboard to protect the finish, then filing them with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077QF9L9K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have them on my MSP and they were more angled than my stock pedals aswell but after a couple of rides iv gotten used to them and they just feel normal now ☺️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
