Race Face Chester Pedal Red, One Size
Having a place to put your feet is a pretty non-negotiable part of cycling, but, you don’t want to spend your post-ride refreshment budget (and part of next month’s rent) on flashy pedals, either. Race Face’s Chester Pedals don’t have the shiny aluminum construction of some of their pricier counterparts, but they also won’t empty your wallet, and Race Face carefully constructs their nylon composite body to make it just as grippy and responsive as aluminum versions. Using eight replaceable steel hex traction pins on each side of the pedals, Race Face gives the rubber soles of your shoes a place to hang on when you’re blasting through destructive territory. It also fully seals the bearing and bushing system while a durable Cro-Mo steel axle keeps the pedal working smoothly for as long as possible. If it eventually does need some work, Race Face makes the system completely serviceable too, so you won’t be forced to replace a perfectly good pedal because of a bushing or bearing problem.

Hard to beat the performance and durability to price ratio of these flats. I’ve been using these for over a year and they’ve needed virtually no maintenance, just grease. They are light and so grippy with 5/10’s that repositioning your foot can be troublesome if you don’t nail it the first time. Damage to the nylon body is basically non-existent, but I’ve broken a couple of pins here and there, which are just normal m3’s so they are easy to source and replace. Buyer beware, they’ll bite your shins hard, and mine have the scars to prove it, but that is the case for…
These are worth every penny! I wear flat Fila … These are worth every penny! I wear flat Fila skate shoes with these and my feet do not budge! I also agree with everyone here as to how tough they are. I’ve smacked these on some crazy rocks & roots and expected to look down and see either a piece of pedal gone or at least looking really gnarled up…Nope, the pedals still look new. I don’t even get it. They’re so grippy in fact that you have to be sure about your footing before you get onto a technical part of trail because it’s actually hard…
Great set of petals to say the least Wow, these are perfect for me. They allow me to have so much more control over my bike than I ever did with the stock Cannondale petals. I actually feel like I can go places I couldn’t go before, my feet literally stick to these petals, I’m amazed. Sometimes they stick a little to well when needing to adjust my feet for a drop off or jump, but that’s hardly a complaint. They have taken a beating on some rocks on the trail and don’t show many signs of damage at all, they stand up much better…
