March already starts from today, which means that MKS day is just around the corner. I hope you remembered this very important day to appreciate and celebrate MKS pedals that you step on everyday. We’re aiming to make this day an international holiday, so please write it down on your calendars!<\/p>\n

With the help of MKS, we were able to make another special item for this year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Pretzel pedals have been one of our recent go to pedals for us from their huge selection of pedals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They were designed based from the Gamma Pedals, but added a \u201cC” shaped parts on the sides to make the pedals even wider.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The pedals are slightly concaved towards the middle with spike pins, making them grippy, which great for daily use and off-road riding.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since they were called the \u201cPretzel”, we thought it’d makes sense to bake… I mean, produce them in dark brown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anodized parts are usually with bright colors, which can sometimes be too loud, but this brown brings out a nice flavor to various types of bikes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These brown Pretzel Pedals will be available from the weekend that MKS days is on, March 7th (Sat) at all Blue Lug store locations. Not at your local bakery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One more special item is the zip hoodies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They have MKS’ classic logo printed on the front and the schematic of the Pretzel pedals printed on the back, which I think is a bold move for MKS to let us expose their product like that! (Yes, we did get their permission)<\/p>\n

PLEASE NOTE : The hoodies will only be available at the Hatagaya store.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Both products will be available online from March 8th (Sun) 7:00pm JST.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To summarize :<\/p>\n

<BLUE LUG In Store Release>
\nPedals : March 7th (Sat) 12:00pm – all stores
\nHoodies : March 7th (Sat) 12:00pm exclusive at Hatagaya
\n<BLUE LUG Online Release>

MKS will also be showing their new products archives, and samples of future products at the Hatagaya store On the 7th and 8th. They will also be offering small parts that people often ask for, but not for sale in shops<\/a>. This is a great opportunity to bring back an old pedal of yours back to life!<\/p>\n

People from MKS will be at the event to answer your questions regarding their pedals as well, so it would be a great chance to thank them and celebrate their work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m personally very excited about their pinball machine that they always bring out to events!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Everybody gets a free first play, so come on in and give it a shot!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You will win a pair of Pretzel Brown Pretzel Pedals, if you were able to put the ball into the jackpot!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

There will be other small prizes provided by MKS and Blue Lug as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We will also be offering some snacks, so I hope you can bring out your families for this very special day!<\/p>\n

Happy MKS Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":174122,"template":"","tags":[153,1150,1152,1151],"better_featured_image":{"id":174122,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1500,"height":1875,"file":"2026\/03\/260301_mks_pop_en_01.jpg","filesize":701402,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"260301_mks_pop_en_01-1024x1280.jpg","width":1024,"height":1280,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":167644,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/260301_mks_pop_en_01-1024x1280.jpg"},"large":{"file":"260301_mks_pop_en_01-1376x1720.jpg","width":1376,"height":1720,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":268661,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/260301_mks_pop_en_01-1376x1720.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"file":"260301_mks_pop_en_01-614x768.jpg","width":614,"height":768,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":75638,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/260301_mks_pop_en_01-614x768.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":174027,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/260301_mks_pop_en_01.jpg"},"acf":{"online-store-search-keywords":"MKS","search-result-sort-order":"relevance_newest","search-result-sort-by":"desc","stockSortFlg":false,"mage_category_ids_raw":"","free_word":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global\/174027"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/global"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/174122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
