      Worldwide Cyclery I actually had the stamp 2 alloy pedals, but switched to the Stamp 1 composite pedals to save about 100g weight ;) They function the same and feel no different out on the trail to me. One just weighs less than the other! I think composite pedals are a good place to shave a little weight if that type of thing matters to you.

    @GasGrassOrAssetto 5 років тому +12

    I've had chesters for about two years now and they've held up beautifully through many rock strikes and crashes. Some of the pins are bent slightly but I've done literally nothing to them since installation and they work just as well as day one.

  • @ДмитроЖигалкін
    @ДмитроЖигалкін Рік тому +2

    I have a Stamp 1 because they're lightest from all that - the grip is stable and considerably better then on ordinary pedals without pins. Sealed bearing here located near the center and play more significant role comparing to pedals where it is located on one external edge. Good construction and product !

    I have tried RF Chesters, Chromag Synth, Deity Compound, and One Up Composites. One Up is hands down my favorite . They just provide more grip than the others. Chesters would be second on my list and the Dietys would be last. I wasn't impressed with them and never really felt like foot stayed put as good as it did on the One Ups or the Chesters.

  • @11dhillons
    @11dhillons 5 років тому +6

    When I bought my new bike, the shop threw in a set of the Stamp 1’s. I figured they’d be decent but the bump the axle runs through is huge. Makes for a super convex pedal, combine that with the relatively small pins and it wasn’t for me.
    Kona Wah Wah 2’s and the Oneup AL pedals on my bikes and they’re legit.

    • @thelegendmtb3483
      @thelegendmtb3483 5 років тому +2

      Couldn’t agree more. My old DMR V12s were knackered so got Stamp 1 large. Tried mine twice in the wet in Scotland and just dangerous. Got a great deal on some DMR Vault magnesium and normal service resumed.

      How can they recommend the stamp as the best...18months on from this video and I hope wwc will even admit these pedals are junk.

    • @jaguarreal9116
      @jaguarreal9116 2 роки тому

      Thanks. Do you have a recommendation on short, rounded pins? I am looking for short ROUNDED pins, the less skin shredding capability the better. The axle-bump does concern me, on the other hand some arch contact on high-power-push-portion would be healthier on the arch, so maybe pure flat is best. I am actually fine with stock pedals and just want larger front-to-back surface.

      MILTONATOR I think you’ll like them. To me, as soon as I started peddling they just felt comfortable. The Chesters I was running were stable and are fine, but I was always trying to get my foot in position. The Stamps are wide, so anywhere I place my foot feels good. I still position my feet, I just don’t have to get them in the exact position every time. I hope that makes sense. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Hello. What pedal do you recommend with the shortest and/or ROUNDEST pins. I am fine with stock specialized pedals, just want to increase the surface area front-to-back (toe-towards-heel) and don't need sharp leg meat shredders. I am considering the Race Ride pedals, but they go too far on the roundness.

    • @bryceridesbikes
      @bryceridesbikes 2 роки тому +1

      @@jaguarreal9116 I would go with the MSW thump with the molded pins not the replaceable pins. They used to sold as iSSi branded but they've changed branding, still the same good pedal. And LBS would be able to order them, also available from WWC part number is PD1117. If you gave a bike shop that same part number they'd be able to look it up.

  • @savagepaul-
    @savagepaul- 4 роки тому

    So far I've broken the one up and crank brother stamp composites... the one up blew up when i landed from a really big hip transfer in the bowl .. I landed smooth aswell. The crank brothers I'll give the benefit of doubt, I was trying a bearskin to tail whip and got the tail whip half way around before ejecting the bike to the concrete where it blew up. This was about a 6 foot smack to concrete... if the pedal hadn't broke the crank might have? So this might be a blessing in disguise as cranks are a lot more $ then composite pedals + crank bros comes with a 5 year warranty and are the lightest composites id run. I had the large and it felt great, lots of room to shimmy your foot around and adjust as need but your not hella locked in like the one up pedals. Way better for a dj bike, the one ups are suited to a dh or enduro set up I'd say and have a way different feeling like your foot has a high point and it wrapped around the pedal... don't know if im a fan needed more time but it only broke in 2 days of riding so i was like fuck that and got the crank bros to have the same demise in a different fashion... curious about deity compound or race face chester pedals.

    What is a good (minimum 100mm front-to-back prefer 105 plus) pedal that has rounded tops? Molded even better. In other words, what MTB pedal has a good surface area (toe-to-heel), that has the minimum skin shredding capability? I'm fine with stock pedals on my MTB, just want a larger surface area (front-to-back) that is only a slight or no improvement on grip of a stock pedal. I am tempted on the Race Ride Pedal (but those go a little too far on the rounded stubs and something in between would be awesome).

    What about Nukeproof Neutron Evo? Seems pretty solid and has great reviews.
    Bought them a while ago and they seem solid, although I only have Shimano and BBB(trash) to compare with...

    Still waiting for my Chester's to die... Been two winter's so far and they are going strong. Not as much grip as my DMR Vaults, but it doesn't seem to matter.

    I've managed to brake a pedal. It was a cheap pedal and it wasn't in a crash
