I just took my Chesters off yesterday and put on the Oneup composites I bought from y'all. Haven't ridden them yet, but I felt like the Chesters were a little small for my size 12. Never had issues with them though.
I use the Chester’s when I’m not running clipless pedals. I like them a lot but would like to try the one up composite pedals just for fun. I don’t think you can go wrong either way
Kudos to that :) Chesters are not a bad option by any mean but for the same price One Up offers much more. The only missing feature is the wide colour variety which the Chesters offer.
These are great pedals for the price. I've had the chance to ride these on a few demo bikes and have no complaints. Enough grip and they get the job done, plus they come in a variety of cool colors.
I ride them and I love them! The other day I smashed the pins full speed into a rock which should have broke them easily, but they’re totally fine now. The pedal itself is also great, I ride a lot of tech, and it has a good amount of grip and very durable. I actually like the composite over metal because I have a lot of pedal strikes
I bought a pair of these with my new bike about 3 months ago because I couldn't decide what pedal I wanted and these were the cheapest they had at the shop. I have been super impressed and I have decided to just keep these on the bike.
I have run Chesters before on a couple bikes. For the price there is nothing better. There are some other good options like the OneUp pedals but still, Chesters are bullet proof and I just trust them.
Also like to add that Chesters come in a wider range of colors and are slightly cupped verses the one-ups where the spindle is slightly raised I personally like it cupped
Yes, I use Chester’s on my 2018 Scott genius and I absolutely love them! Super light and durable. I ride a lot of chunky limestone downhill and never slip the pedals.
I rock these on my santa Cruz Bronson and just got a pair for my girlfriend, we both wear vans with them and they are super grippy. I can bunny hop with ease. She's not there yet but at least she'll be set up for it when she wants to learn. Really awesome pair of pedals.
I've been using them for a long time and they hold up just fine. I like them I'm not into clip pedals these are good all-around pedals. I commute on my bike and ride probably 100 miles a week sometimes
I replaced my Speciailized Bennies with these and love them so much. They grip like crazy and don't cut up my legs if I so much as even touch the sides of them like my metal bennies did.
I use them on my Rocky ebike, my wife on hers too, recommend them to any other Rider/friend, but on my childrens 20" mtb's I decided to get DMR V6 which are great for price too...
Bike checks are always great and some more vs videos like Transition Sentinel Carbon vs Evil Wreckoning vs Yeti SB5.5 vs Pivot Firebird 29er...Big 29er shootout woot!!!
I bought a pair to use for bike demos and eventually replace the old diamondbacks on my bike. One pedal strike about 50 yards into first ride and I cracked the nylon, lol. Oh well love the grip and shape so I fixed it with epoxy and continue running them.
Have the OneUp composites on my bike right now. I like the slightly bigger platform compared to the Chester. I just wish they sold replaceable pins for them.
Cheers Guys, I used a set of Chester pedals on my old bike-they were Pretty damn solid, but now on my new bike I am using a set of OneUp Composites...in my eye they are even better as the Plattform i a bit wider an bigger, but the Chester is really solid, too.
I agree, it's a great budget composite pedal. After riding Race Face Atlas ($130 granted), I didn't find the Chester to be quite as concave and grippy. mbr magazine (UK publication) Jan 2018 gave great reviews to the HT PA03A (35 pounds) but I haven't tried them.
Deity had really good ones made out of composite, very nice green color with that real nice old logo on it! I believe they stepped away from that, parts and jersey’s with the old logo are hard to come by sadly enough but I loved there pedals. Running DMR’s now, great set but more expensive, should have gone for Chester’s!
I just bought two pairs of these. I managed to get some limited edition ones in special colours. Forrest green and Mustard yellow! the mustard yellow matches the yellow my RockShox perfectly.
Definitely getting a set of these. I need a wider pedal with more grip, and these come in a variety of colors. Another plus is, it’s like getting custom pedals with my name on them!!!😂😂
Awesome review! You guys should add the in depth tech portion to every review. Side note: Can you guys help me source a Syncros Trail Fender?!? Pleeeasse🙏🏼
I have several sets of chesters and one up pedals. Ive been going back and forth with them for about a year and a half and still cant tell much difference between the two. Both pedals are equally awesome IMO. Chesters may be a buck or two cheaper. Either way you have a fantastic pedal. 👍
I run the DMR Lacondeguy Vaults on my main bike, but on my old bike I put on new Oneup composites more or les the same as the chester plus it's a local company for me so great o support them!
They look similar to a Nukeproof pedal I use which is also some kind of plastic composite. The Nukeproofs are cheaper and in my opinion a very robust, light-ish and awesome value for money pedal...
Great video, Jeff. I'm using the Catalyst Pedals by Pedaling Innovations (James Wilson). I really like these, and I feel that their performance is in line with the company's claims. Before that I was on Race Face Aeffect pedals, which I also really liked, but I prefer the longer platform on the Catalysts, especially when standing. I also have a set of Crank Brothers Mallet DH pedals, but haven't used those in over 18 months because I prefer flat pedals.
That's cool to hear you are using and happy with those Catalyst pedals! Those things look funky but I do know a few people who really like them. Whatever feels good for, stick with it!
Another sick deal is the HT PA03 Pedals or OneUp Components. These 2 are more concave and have a few more pins for riders who like even more grip. I have had cheaters but now ride with HT PA03 pedals I bought from worldwide cyclery for $49. They still look new after a year of smashing rocks. And they have rebuild kits too.
looks like a worthy opponent to the OneUp pedals. I ride Brendogs DMR since years and love 'em. But, believe it or not, they can become a bit too wide for non-DH shoes from time to time. That's why I'm highly considering these or OneUp for my Enduro. Thanks for the details! : D
I have a set of these the 2019 version on ky bike and i bike through around 6 inches of snow and slush on salty roads and trails in town and never had my foot slip off ...even wearing basketball shoes or winter boots.. 😪the versitility these offer is knowing your feet will stick.. But if you forget your shoes you dont have to worry cause you gonna stay on that bike till you peel your foot off the pedal lol
I ride F20s myself..... 220lbs and over 3k miles on them without anything more than a wipe down every once in a while. Crazy good - but I paid a price for it. lol
ThunderStruckCoach I had a quick ride of the pump track on some and they are impressive. I already have the crankset, would be rude not to buy the pedals.
I loved these pedals until I got the OneUp composite pedals. They're the same price, thinner, slightly bigger, better shape, better positioned pins and can be rebuilt. They're amazing
If your existing pedals are fine just keep running them. On the other hand, if you want to step up to a thinner pedal that's probably a little lighter and with replaceable pins would be a bad move either.
I've been riding clipless for over 20 years and am going to make the switch to flat. I pretty much just ride trails now. What pedals would you recommend?
I bought my pair last August. I've ridden on approx 20+ rides with them. They are ok, but was shocked have them go bad so quick. The seal went out in one of them at the beginning of the year. I just ordered new bearing set. I do like them but the are not that reliable. The kit is expensive, $23, and that's just the bearings. Hopefully this fixes it or I'll have to buy a different brand.
hi i bought me a pair off these in turquoise for my canyon roadlite cf 8 roadbike,what should be the best pin hight so that im not gone destroy my ride concepts livewire shoes.im only ride on the road.
I've had these for 8 months and they've completely fallen apart.. lost 4 or 5 pins and a good bit of plastic has come loose. I guess just an issue of pedal shots, but wouldn't have expected them to deteriorate this quickly. Would alloy pedals help me out with pedal shots? I ride a lot of technical / rocky terrain.
i've been riding skate shoes with my flats , do the standard 5/10 freeriders fit true to size , i wear a size 10 in almost everything..is this true with the freeriders ? thanks
Has anyone had experience with the pins eating up their shoe bottoms? I just on my mountain bike with whatever I’m wearing, eva slides and such. Later, I find the bottoms are chewed up.
spend 20€/$ more and get crankbrothers stamp 2 pedals i have them and they are the best dont know how they are going to fare in the long term because i have had them for 3 days
Adam Fricska HT PA03 are composite and $50. I think they are better than he Chesters since they are more concave and thinner. Plus ten pins. It’s all personal preference tho
Do you run Chester pedals? If not, what do you run? Let us know!
I just took my Chesters off yesterday and put on the Oneup composites I bought from y'all. Haven't ridden them yet, but I felt like the Chesters were a little small for my size 12. Never had issues with them though.
I'm all about the Deity Compounds, myself. Never tried the Chesters, though.

Im very happy with my crankbrothers stamps.

I ride with chesters, came off of clipless pedals. The difference is insane! I feel so confident hitting jumps and turns, it's awesome.

I don't know whois Chester from pedal name. But I'm dedicated this pedals bought today to Chester Bennington.
They are awesome, I bought mine in orange and not only looks great, the grip is amazing. Love them!
I have them on all 3 of my bikes. Never lost grip ever. Worth every penny!

I just purchased the Chesters and crank boots rode them once and my first impressions were they were definitely nice and grippy thanks for your vids
Thank you Eddie! Pretty popular pedal here, they simply work!

The HT nylon ones are spot on as well, and a little bigger platform than my Chester's had.

just got those pedals today to replace my basic pedals. they were a bit higher than 50 dollars, but to support my local shop was willing.
Awesome review! You guys should add the in depth tech portion to every review.
Side note: Can you guys help me source a Syncros Trail Fender?!? Pleeeasse🙏🏼
Been riding Chesters for a few years now and they're just unbeatable for the price.
I run the Race Face Chester's in Black on my Trek fuel ex8 27 5 plus bike. Great paddle fan run the same one for 2 years.
I am using them on my custom trek xcaliber and on my ride around marlin 6. I love them and they are amazing
Just bought a pair, is it normal for them to not rotate easy? Seems like a lot of resistance.
i run 5050s because there only 20$ more at my bike shop and its all medal. but the chesters are hard to beat, for 50$ they seem to be a great deal!

I bought a set for my commuter then bought another for my MTB right after. They're fantastic pedals.
My wife had Chester’s on her bike, was going to steal them.
I just ordered them , have a few days to find my pedal wrench
Chester pedals and Lugz matchpoint unexpected perfect match.
Great video, Jeff.

Great Pedals. I am using them right now
i chose the Kona Wah Wah 2 composite cause they are a little bigger but chesters would be my next choice
Just purchased some today for my BMX .. we shall see what they can with hold.....
🤘

OneUp requires servicing every 50 hours
@@AIMarketingFunnels interesting. Not a single review has said anything about having to do maintenance on a pedal.
@@ertai222 th-cam.com/video/FoeIeB9lmRA/w-d-xo.html
can you review the one un composite? similar price and looks like a great flat pedal.
We'll definitely consider doing more pedal reviews like that in the near future!
I have a set of these the 2019 version on ky bike and i bike through around 6 inches of snow and slush on salty roads and trails in town and never had my foot slip off ...even wearing basketball shoes or winter boots.. 😪the versitility these offer is knowing your feet will stick..

Great Pedals for an even better prize...my Girlfriend uses them on her Bike and they are plain and simple awesome.
Might but these pedals on my blocks flyer, they seems really nice
I have 2 pairs and 4 bikes. Need more.
I ride F20s myself..... 220lbs and over 3k miles on them without anything more than a wipe down every once in a while. Crazy good - but I paid a price for it. lol
ThunderStruckCoach
How long does the colour last ?
Mine are black and still look great - in between all the scrapes and gouges that is. Just a typical Hope product that works....
ThunderStruckCoach
I had a quick ride of the pump track on some and they are impressive. I already have the crankset, would be rude not to buy the pedals.
ThunderStruckCoach yes f20s are the best pedals money can buy
Had em for a year, spin like new!
Just bought some CB Stamp 2's
I love my chester pedals. they are easily the best pedals iv'e ever tried.
i forgot to say i have only chopped off 1 pin on the road but my cranks are super low to the ground on my trek precaliber.
Nukeproof Electron Evo's here - £25!!!! 2 years old and still going strong...
I loved these pedals until I got the OneUp composite pedals. They're the same price, thinner, slightly bigger, better shape, better positioned pins and can be rebuilt. They're amazing
But what about the bump in the middle? Everyone seems to say it causes pressure point on your feet.
Should I run race face pedals are stick with my diamond back alloy pedals?
If your existing pedals are fine just keep running them. On the other hand, if you want to step up to a thinner pedal that's probably a little lighter and with replaceable pins would be a bad move either.
Alright, thanks for the advice!
Vans + these are awesome
Just ordered those for my mtb. It came with clips and I don't want to wear those lol.
Awesome pedal! Biker on a budget!
The into is perfect 😂😂😂✌️🤘
Thanks for the awesome feedback!

What about HT PA 03A pedals,quite similar but larger
Dmr v6. Not rebuildable but same grip level. Same weight and cheaper than a rebuild kit.
Use them on my bmx. Awesome
Bmxers have been using composite nylon pedals for over 30 years...Now MTB uses short stems like BMX flatland...
I bought the oneup composite pedals from
you guys and retired the chesters
i've been riding skate shoes with my flats , do the standard 5/10 freeriders fit true to size , i wear a size 10 in almost everything..is this true with the freeriders ? thanks
Yes, they are pretty true to size. Can't go wrong with some Five Ten sneaks!
Worldwide Cyclery
thanks !
Running the new spd saints. Chesters on the wife’s bike.
Has anyone had experience with the pins eating up their shoe bottoms? I just on my mountain bike with whatever I’m wearing, eva slides and such. Later, I find the bottoms are chewed up.
Id ride some Chesters everyday of the week
spend 20€/$ more and get crankbrothers stamp 2 pedals
i have them and they are the best
dont know how they are going to fare in the long term because i have had them for 3 days
Try the xlc pd m12. You get way more for your money
i saw these fooker pedals and they are the same exact design as those are tey the same quality?
Watch the video from Berm Peak Express. I know one seal is missing.
Bout to cop
No. I have the Atlas
i just want to see how it spins..
Cmon one up is thinner, wider, more grip, cheaper.. if you Have big feet/or want sick grip buy one up, i sold my chesters After getting one up
i have the same set i bought when this video came out...
Another Oneup here!
Footers make a inexpensive flat pedal too....$30.
Nukeproof Horizon Comp pedals are ultimately better but Chester's work aswell.
HT Aluminum paid 60€
that is 70$ U.S. tho
Adam Fricska HT PA03 are composite and $50. I think they are better than he Chesters since they are more concave and thinner. Plus ten pins. It’s all personal preference tho
Sixpack Vegas 👍
I ride the OneUp composite pedals! A super grippy platform with 10 rear-loading steel pins per side... Beat that Mr. Chester ;)
50 dollar pedal and some Vans Atwood skate shoes. Never slip.
I had a pair of chesters but I hit a tree and broke the spindle
Damn, must've been a good crash!
I swear by mine. I have no need to change them. . Ever!
Not as grippy as other pedals I’ve used.
I ain't gon run no got dang plastic! But I won't knock you if u do
Trail Weaks u should there awesome man. Ive had then 3 months an have blasted down mountains an smacked a few rocks an this thing is solid
one up comp is better, also bigger
