Product Description

Chester pedals have long been a staple in the Race Face lineup with a leading reputation as the affordable yet high-quality composite pedal. Durable, comfortable, Chester was the premier pedal choice for bike shop employees outfitting a customer’s new bike. This caught the attention of our competition, who have released new or updated composite pedals in an attempt to knock Chester from the top spot.   After years of service to riders of all levels, Chester was due for an update. We wanted a pedal with better ride feel, more size options and updated aesthetics. A pedal that would exceed the expectations of novice and diehard composite pedal riders alike.   Platform size: Race Face made the new Chester in two sizes, Small (105 x 100mm) and Large (115 x 110mm) to better suit the needs of all riders. Platform size is largely a matter of rider preference, but we found a rough correlation to shoe size, as seen in the chart below. (The previous Chester pedals came in one size, measuring 110 x 101mm.)   Pin placement, type and quantity: Chester now has nine metal pins and two molded plastic pins for a total of 11 pins per pedal side (three more than previous model). The pins were strategically placed for more consistent grip around the entire pedal circumference and a more concave feel. The metal pins also have smaller, threadless tips, which improves grip and lets riders reposition their feet as needed. Threadless pin tips also make pin removal easier for when riders inevitably replace them, as well as making the pins less damaging to skin in the event of a “shinner.”   Q-factor: Race Face eliminated the wrench flats from the pedal spindle to reduce Q-factor, meaning the rider’s feet will sit closer to the cranks. Riders can now improve ride ergonomics with a simple pedal swap.   Features Better pins, and more of them.11 pins per side improved placement, better grip, easy foot-adjust, less shin-damage..
