Its sealed bearing system ensures smooth rotation, while its serviceable design maximizes longevity. Lightweight at 340g, these pedals offer pro-level performance without breaking the bank, making them a top choice for riders seeking reliable, high-value MTB pedals. ## Description 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. RACEFACE'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 RACEFACE 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, RACEFACE 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, RACEFACE 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. Review: A High-Quality/Low-Priced Beast - I LOVE these Chesters! I wanted a budget, sleek, stylish, high-quality MTB pedals for awhile. I did my research and landed on the Chesters. These things have been around for awhile and have a good reputation. They are very attractive and offer good longevity for the price, which makes this purchase a high-value one. I put these on my Marlin 5 because I didn't like the factory pedals whose nubs are plastic and molded into the pedal. The chester's have steel bolts that pass through the pedal and offer a super secure grip on my skateboard shoes. I don't wear special shopes for MTB'ing, nor am I going to buy some. So these pedals fit the bill. They grip super tight on my slick skateboard shoes and I feel very secure on them. I love the matte black color too. What's cool is that you can buy these in a bunch of different colors. they aren't painted, so the color will not wear off if you scuff the pedals on curbs. I've had them for over a year now and they've been 100% reliable on both dirt, street and mud. Very happy with my purchase. Only caveat: they do not freely rotate as well as other pedals do. The more expensive pedals will freely rotate and spin for days. These will give you about 1.5-2 rotations before the friction halts their spin. Listen...this is not a problem on MTB or regular street bikes. Your not gonna notice it and it's not dangerous. This would only effect efficiency on long-distance road biking, and if your doing that, you would never buy a Chester anyway, so it's a moot point. These are the cheapest and highest quality pedals your gonna find. Cheaper than this, your buying garbage quality... more expensive than this, and your wasting your money. Review: Very grippy and smooth spinning - These do improve the ride. It's a long pedal (running the length of the foot, not the width) so you have more surface area to press down on. I found my feet felt better after a long ride just because of that. I don't have to put all my weight on the ball of my foot if I don't want to. I can spread the weight across more of my foot as needed.I also have really wide feet and the width of the pedal was good enough that the side of my foot isn't hanging off the edge. As far as the grip pins, they hold really well. My favorite biking shoe is old sneakers. Nice and broken in so they are super comfortable. But that also usually means the tread is worn flat. Even with no tread on my rubber soles shoes these pins help my feet in place firmly. But they don't prevent you from easily lifting your foot up and getting off the pedals quickly. They just keep your feet from sliding forward or side to side. So you're not wearing your foot muscles out by constantly adjusting to stay on the pedal, and when you want to get off the bike in a hurry your foot still lifts right off. I did try a few different pairs of shoes. Softer rubber grips these much better than harder rubber. So your grip experience my vary depending on the shoes you're wearing. I wouldn't suggest foam cushioned shoes though (the newer kind with the durable foam but really soft soles) I think the pins would destroy those in a hurry. My first ride on these the day after I put them on ended up being in the rain. (Lucky me!) Even when thoroughly wet I didn't lose any traction on these. The bearings are good. They rotate very smooth with no grinding feel at all like you get on cheaper pedals. It's a nice clean action. And the bears don't provide much resistance that adds to the energy needed to pedal. The only thing I'm not in love with is the plastic piece in the center covering the center axle. There are no pins on that part so that's a slippery part in the middle of the pedal. I may wrap a small piece of grip tape around the center just to add a little friction there. It's not a huge deal at all. But I could notice it. It should be molded with a diamond cut pattern in the center if there are no pins. But this is very very minor. It'd be nice to have traction in the middle for those times when you lift your foot off the pins and don't set it down quite perfectly. All in all I really like them. Worth every penny. ## Features - Material: [body] nylon composite, [axle] chromoly steel - Removable Pins: yes, steel - Claimed Weight: 340 g - Actual Weight Notes: Race Face Chester flat pedals. - Recommended Use: mountain bike ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B018J1J7QE | | ASIN | B018J1J7QE | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #61,736 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #127 in Bike Pedals | | Bike Type | Cross Country Bike | | Brand Name | RaceFace | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,225) | | Date First Available | November 25, 2015 | | Department | unisex-adult | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00821973286433 | | Included Components | 2 bike Pedal | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions L x W | 10"L x 5"W | | Item Type Name | Chester Pedal | | Item Weight | 14.1 Ounces | | Item model number | PD16CHEBLK | | Manufacturer | Race Face | | Manufacturer | Race Face | | Manufacturer Part Number | PD16CHEBLK | | Material Type | Composite | | Model Number | PD16CHEBLK | | Product Dimensions | 5 x 10 x 1 inches; 14.1 ounces | | Product Style | Motorcycle | | Thread Size | 9/16 inches | | UPC | 821973286433 | | Warranty Description | one year | ## Images ![RaceFace Chester Pedal Black, One Size - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61G2d7joQaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you adjust the height of pins?** A: The pins are removable and replaceable via an Allen wrench 2.5mm - There are no alternative pin sizes or spacers included in the box - pins come installed **Q: how is the pin height? is it adjustable? do you have a problem with the pin height? will it bite through skater shoes? thanks!** A: Skate shoe are what I ride with ...that's why I bought these pedals...love them not sure if the pin hight is adjustable... **Q: Can they fit pedal straps** A: Yes, the spacing is such, that thin pedal straps would fit, however the removable pins would need to be removed in order for the strap to fit. **Q: will they fit a specialized stump jumper?** A: I'm riding a Giant Anthem XS and often the crank sets are used by many different bike manufacturer. Specialized and Giant components are the same. The Race Face will surely fit your crank set.
