RaceFace Chester Pedal Orange, 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.

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…
easily as light as a pair of xtr plus cleats Bought these and a pair of 5 10 free ride shoes because of an ankle injury and could not get out of my spds. They are very light, easily as light as a pair of xtr plus cleats. After using them all summer I may just leave them on. I bought a pair for each mtb I have. They make riding a little more fun as you just hope on your bike and peddle. Many miles with no issues and no maintenance. Screws are sharp and any contact with skin will draw blood, sometimes a lot, which might be the only…
