Back to Chester Raceface pedals and their durability...
I wrecked this morning. Hit the pavement hard and slid a good 5 feet.
I stayed under the bike and saved it from serious damage. The lowest point on the bike (when it's on it's side) is the pedal. It sticks out the furthest. So my Raceface pedal took the brunt of the bike's portion of the impact hard, then slide 5 feet.
It's scratched up. There is a big scrape off the side of the pedal.
But I got back on the bike and it works fine. And since the Raceface's are solid color composite, you wouldn't notice it's scraped up unless you put your face right down next to it.
Short version...
Bike crash. Chester Raceface pedal was the main point of impact. Pedal still looks okay and works like new.
Costs $40-$50 new. So even if you really wreck one, they are replaceable.
