Race Face

I have both the Race Face Chesters and these Ride pedals. Both pedals are excellent. The Chesters are used on a road bike that like to take for shorter rides (10-15 miles). I am mostly on that road bike the entire time. I use the Race Face Ride pedals on a hybrid bike that I use for errands, super quick rides and commuting. The platform on bth pedals is excellent. The Ride pedal DOES NOT have the metal pins which makes it more pleasant on rides that are short and where you need to get on and off your bike frequently. The metal pins can catch your legs every now and then and scratch your legs. The metal pins on the Chesters are great when you plan to be on your bike for awhile and do not anticipate getting on and off your bike frequently. I think MTBers just learn to live with the occasional scratches from the metal pins of the Chesters. Both pedals are great. Your feet will stick to the Chesters better and the Rides are better when you are on and off th bike frequently.

Was looking for Carbon wheels to replace my Alloy Ibis wheels that I broke. Loved the wide 35s and was looking for something comparable. These work great although a bit expensive compared to the IBIS carbon which are of course out of stock for the next god knows how long. Last week had a huge stick get stuck between the spokes and the frame. Thought I ruined the wheel but when I finally was able to get it out the wheel was 100% true and the spokes were completely straight. Guess it was worth paying for. Was warned that these create a harsh ride. Felt fine to me. Would be 5 stars if they stickers would be more durable. Remove them before you start riding since they don't last and after a while it is hard to take them off.
