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

Good pedals for a little less than real Chesters

So these are blatant knock offs of RaceFace Chesters. I bought them because they were about $20 less than the Chesters and had some good reviews from real mountain bikers on youtube. My last pair of pedals were the OneUp Composite pedals which I also really liked, however they had taken a beating over 3K miles and for $30 it I thought I'd try these rather than service the OneUp's.Overall these feel great and come with a few extra pins which is nice. They are grippy (paired with my Ride Concept Hellions and provide just the right amount of stickiness in my opinion. I can still move my foot to readjust my position if necessary but through the chunder my foot stays on. These pedals do well on the jumps, flow, and tech and I have about 300 miles on them without any real signs of wear.I really like the idea of new pedals every season or so and at $30 it's pretty affordable. I've love to see some of the name brands come down in price on their composites as I think $50-$60 is a bit steep. At this price point you can afford to replace your pedals rather than service them after a season or two (considering pins and a service kit are close to $20).My only negative comment is the hex size to install these is one size larger than the OneUp (and likely the Chesters) so my multitool doesn't have a large enough size to tighten them if they were to come loose on the trail. This hasn't happened and they do "tighten" as you pedal so after a few rides it shouldn't be an issue you have to worry about.
