Best Bike Pedals
Embracing the same large platform and 8 hex pin system for stellar grip and traction, the new Chester pedal from RaceFace is every bit as tough as their alloy cousin - only this time, constructed with a nylon composite body to shave off the grams. Material: [body] nylon composite, [axle] chromoly steel.

"My thought was to put these on my fat bike so I can wear warm boots come snow time (clipless get full of snow and hard to use)."
"I used to have the shimano Saint pedals, but replaced them by this Race face chester pedals, and I am really happy with them I feel these pedals has a better grip, and my shoes are always tied to the pedals."
"I've been using azonic 420 pedals when I want to ride flats, platform was too small for my foot, and they weren't grippy enough."
"Aesthetics: The slim profile is cool, they look appropriately aggressive and I really like the fact that, in black, they look unassuming."
"LOVE the green color!"
"I expected a hard nylon pedal, similar to dense, durable nylon I've seen before."
"Love these pedals."
For this reason the Shimano A530 SPD Pedals may just become your pedal of choice. SPD cleat on one side lets you clip in for longer rides, while platform side lets you hop on with regular shoes for quick rides.

(2) Relatively light weight (380g on my scale), much lighter than most mountain bike-specific SPD pedals, which until recently were your only choice for a dual-sided pedal (for example, the Shimano PD-M324 Clipless/Clip Pedals). I bought the pedals despite knowing this because my prior pedals, which were studded, were ruining the soles on my work shoes. That's not such a problem with sneakers that have grippy soles, but with flat-soled shoes, you really have to be careful about how much pressure you put on the pedal and can't easily stand up while pedaling."
"I love the idea of being able to clip in with my SPD shoes if I want to go on a longer ride or get I a longer exercise, but I can also just hop on my bike with regular gym shoes if I want to run to get the mail or just run down the street for something or commuting for any reason that I wouldn't expect to be on my bike for long periods of time."
"She has always preferred the ease of SPD cleats to SPD-SL cleats after using a cheap set of off brand pedals with SPD cleats they finally were damaged beyond repair (at least weren't worth the time and money to repair)."
"They are going to be heavier than your traditional plastic pedals or any simplistic clipless pedal but for anyone new to clipless wanting dual platforms or for those that don't care if their pedals weigh a few hundred grams more than the other options these are a great deal and overall excellent set of pedals that should likely last a very long time."
"The adjusting screws were very tight but once I got them broken loose the tension adjustment was easy to back off. Release is a little tight even with the tension at its lights setting."
"Im sure if you know someone with a few bike tools it'd make things easier but I didn't. I've had them on for two years now and couldn't be happier."

"I changed them to these and they don’t slide off anymore, especially when going fast."
"On January 9 2018 the quality of them are good but they use rubber noodles for the spacing in between the puddles so you put a lot of force into the pedal it makes it Flex back and forth and then overtime they snap."
"Very good pedals in an exclusive price."
