Race Face Chester

Yes, the Race Face Chesters use a standard 9/16-inch spindle thread, which fits the vast majority of modern mountain bike crank arms.

While alloy pedals are generally more resistant to direct rock strikes, the nylon composite used here is surprisingly tough and impact-resistant. A major advantage of the composite material is that it tends to slide over rocks rather than 'sticking' or gouging like metal, which can actually help you maintain momentum on technical trails.

Yes, the pins are replaceable. Because they are bottom-loading, you can easily swap out damaged pins without needing to replace the entire pedal body.

Yes, the internal bearing and bushing system is designed to be serviceable. You can open the pedals to clean and re-grease the internals, which helps extend their lifespan significantly compared to non-serviceable options.

With eight pins per side, these pedals offer excellent traction that rivals many alloy platforms. The nylon body is shaped to provide a stable, wide platform that keeps your foot planted even through rough, technical terrain.
