Race Face Chester Pedal

Buy these. Youll like them. Dont skimp out on the Fookers. You cheapskates know what Im talking about

I bought these pedals as a less aggressive alternative to a much more expensive set of deity pedals I already had as I just wanted to try something different. I’ve been on several MTB rides with these now and I’m really happy with them so far. My feet still stay planted to the pedals, I love the color and they seem great.

Great grip and light weight. After a couple hundred miles over a month or two I started hearing some crunching in the bearing. When on a remote trail the pedal fell off the spindle and the bearing came out in pieces. Not a durable pedal at all. To be fair, I did have a couple of rock strikes, but nothing terrible. Update: the second set of Chesters failed after 40 miles and zero rock strikes, pedal body again stripped off the spindle as if there was nothing holding it on. I don’t understand. Basically there is a single tiny bearing holding the pedal on the shaft, and all the lateral force is directed through that bearing.

Perfect contrast to the my GIANT NRS3 MTB frame. I have RaceFace stem and grips. So far this think is looking really nice for the rebuild. I’m rough on my gear and time will tell if it can take the abuse.

This pedals are awesome. Light and Strong. Got them on both my bikes.

Look great! Easy to install, feels like they have good grip. let’s see how they perform!

These have been around and all the good reviews have been written. Go read those first. My review is just to report that these lived up to what I expected. Yeah, theres cheaper knock-offs, but the price-delta isnt life-changing money, so why not buy the name-brand I figure. Or, maybe RF is also a knock-off of some much more exotic/expensive pedal I dont know about b/c I wont spend more than these pedals cost? Hmmm. At any rate, youre getting what you pay for here... solid pedals that to a mere XCer like myself are bomb-proof in all likelihood. If youre a sendy-dude, maybe these arent tough-enough?.. no idea. Docked a single-star for weight if only b/c Im 100% sure lighter pedals exist. IMHO, not really the point of pedals like these, but hey... there it is. I expect these pedals could be the last ones I buy for years to come so long as I dont destroy one by accident in some kind of freak accident that is the result of accidentally accidenting when I shouldve been ... some-new-conjugation-indicating-not-accident-goes-hereing. Actuating. Articulating. Aglrabphabulating. Whatever.

I love my Chesters! Great and affordable!

I bought these pedals for my mountain bike and absolutely love them, they were easy to install and look like they will last a long time. The color options and price make these my go-to pedals from now on!

I did a lot of research on what pedals I wanted to go with. It was a toss up between OneUps and Chesters. I am very happy with the Chester Race Faces! I will note though that you will need to get a good pair of mountain biking shoes if you are going to use this product. The pins are very aggressive which makes them great out on the trail, but it would tear up a normal pair of shoes.
