Review on Lightweight Nylon Fiber MTB Pedals: FOOKER 3 Bearing Non-Slip Bicycle Platform For BMX And 9/16"" Mountain Bikes by Chris Estes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better then Raceface Chester? Feels promising!

I just received my Fooker pedals and I am really impressed. I own both the Raceface Chester and now these. Comparably they are very similar from the outside. Main noticable difference is the distance the fooker pedals is from the base of the crank. Its about 2mm longer then the raceface. I dont know how the polymer will hold up as I haven't been on a trail with them yet. After disassembling both the raceface and these fooker pedals I have to give props to the Fooker. The Fooker pedal uses 3 bearing which is noticeable and easy to assemble and adjust with the internal preload nut. The Raceface only use 1 bearing and a nylon sleeve acting as the other bearing. Both work but I did had alittle more trouble setting up the raceface when a bearing went out. Too much tension will cause the pedal not to swivel freely and when I tighted the fooker all the way down it did not have the same issue. The design may be a knock off but I have to say these look and feel very promising. It's less then half of what the raceface cost and with what I feel is a better internal design. The shafts are different respectfully so as the fooker uses 3 bearings compared to the raceface internals using only 1 bearing.Fooker pedalsPros: build is quality. Price, 3 bearings, different colors, easy to repair. Comes with 3 spare pins, smooth, 8mm hex to fasten from inside the crank,Cons: 2mm gap longer then raceface. [Referring to the space between the crank and the pedal platform.], Design is not their own.Raceface chester. Pros: haven't failed yet, trusted brand name, different color.Cons: 1 bearing design, price is twice as much. Uses a 6mm hex to tighten the pedalsBoth can also use a 15mm wrench to tighten to the cranks.
