Review on 9/16" 3 Bearing FOOKER MTB Bike Pedals Non-Slip Platform Bicycle Flat Alloy For Road BMX MTB Fixie Bikes by Josh Schweitzer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This may be my new favorite budget flat pedal.

I was recently running a set of Spank Oozy trail pedals on my 100/140 travel 27.5+ bike. I had an issue with the spindle threads and needed to find a cheap pedal to use for a week or two while I try to warranty the spanks. After some research, I decided to pull the trigger on the Fookers from amazon, instead of my usual go-to wellgo pedals. So far I'm very happy that I went with the fookers. The cartridge bearings are a nice touch, teh pedals spin freely, and have a TON of grip on my 5.10 freeriders. They are probably even grippier than my spank pedals, though the first few minutes felt a bit weird while my feet got used to the larger mid pedal bulge instead of the nice concave shape of the spanks. After a few minutes it was a non-issue, and the grip is fantastic. Ive only got about 60 miles on the pedals so far, but theyve held up well to my 230+ lbs ride weight. The alloy is a touch soft, as a few pedal strikes through rock gardens have left some deep scars, but for the price, I'm certainly not gonna complain. I find myself in no rush to get the spanks back on the bike. Unless these pedals give me a reason to swap, they'll probably be on my bike for the foreseeable future.

Pros
  • Enhances your control and stability on the bike
Cons
  • The plastic components of the pedals are easily damaged
