Review by Bluryeyed1Reviewed 10/3/2022by Bluryeyed1Cycling EnthusiastColoradoI don't crash like Artie Johnson anymore!I used clipless pedals for many years on XC bikes Then I was out of riding for quite a few years due to an injury. When I came back I found myself crashing a lot more than I remember doing years ago. Then
getting back into pedals on a downhill-off camber turn was enough to get me to quit. Several people told me to try flat pedals, at first I was kind of insulted...then I decided to give it a try. The Chesters were on sale so I decided to give them a try. They're big and grippy, and I'm getting in more ride time with them (and my riding
is improving) so I think they were well worth the investment.

Review by Patrick_EReviewed 10/14/2022by Patrick_ENorth CarolinaPlatform Pedals for a Road BikeI own several bikes like many of you. I have an older road bike that I have been using to run errands and do short rides. I did have SPD pedals on it, but decided to try these Chesters on it. The bike is so much easier and fun to ride with the Chesters. It�s easy to get on and off, you don�t need to wear cleats and I truly feel like I ride this bike more now to do more errands (I would use a car instead) just because it�s easier to hop onto it. You will only notice a power and efficiency decrease when you�re out of the saddle in sprints or on a longer climb. Other than that, platforms are the way to go.

Review by CvilleCyclistReviewed 9/13/2018by CvilleCyclistDaily CommuterCharlottesville, VA 4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Great entry level flat pedelGot these pedals as upgrades to the flats that came with my boys mountain bikes. They're great entry level pedals that are definitely a step up from the stock pedals. The replaceable studs have given my kids more confidence that their feet will stay on the pedals even when it's a little wet or muddy out. The composite body has held up well so far and the bearings continue to spin smoothly.

Review by SladeReviewed 10/24/2020by SladeCycling EnthusiastFort Collins, CO5 of 6 customers found this review helpful.Not enough grip for technical ridingI've been riding these for a year now on my MTB and while they're a good value they don't provide adequate grip for technical trails. My foot slips a lot and I find myself constantly adjusting my foot placement, which isn't a good thing when bombing down rocky descents. Best for XC riding on smooth trails.

Review by SalsaHorsethiefReviewed 8/9/2019by SalsaHorsethiefCycling EnthusiastColorado3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Great Pedals that are as good as more expensive flat pedals.I have had these on my mountain bike for 2 months. They are very durable. Great flat and very sticky pedals. I don't see any reason to buy a more expensive pedal. These are great.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 8/23/2018by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastFort Smith Ar4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.good pedal for flat shoesI tried these on my Salsa Casseroll, wanted some pedals to work with my regular Keen H2's. I like them, they grip the shoes really well, you can't really make any small adjustments without lifting your foot off of the pedal. It's nice to be able to just hop on and ride without clipping in. I had hoped they would work with my Shimano XC5 mountain shoes but they just don't grip that kind of sole very well. So they grip flat shoes good, lugged soles not so well. Overall I am happy with them, haven't used them long enough to comment on wear, but they do seem sturdy.
