I received two pair of MKS Sylvan Touring pedals last week and installed one pair today. I was surprised that the cones on one pedal were adjusted too tight. I fixed it easily enough but it should have been set at the factory. Other than that, great pedals.

...To repack the bearings I wiped a light coat of marine grease onto the races to hold the needles during insertion and inserted 23 needles into each race with tweezers. I omitted one needle from each bearing to leave room for a little more grease. ...
Hi Brian, What was your experience with the 23 needle pro side? I just overhauled the first pedal with plenty of grease and 24 needle pro side, and it seems that it's a little tight. And one more thing: is there a solution to fixing the dust caps? I have for the both sides the dust caps with the Viscount logo and after the cleaning process they are a little loose and I don't want to lose them. Some grease? Thanks Viktor

Thanks Viktor They work fine with 23 needles. I also thought they were a bit tight with 24 so I omitted one from each bearing.
Regarding the pedal caps, I am the wrong person to ask because I have 6 Viscounts and exactly one pedal cap.

Thanks Brian, then I pick out one needle from each side 🙂 KR Viktor
