I really love Crank Brothers Stamp line of pedals I have two sets on bikes currently and a spare set for any new bikes that might need them as I love them so much. Another popular pedal is the Race Face Chester. Unfortunately there are unscrupulous companies and people in the world who like to knock off others designs and that is a major problem but if you get these pedals either from your local authorized dealer or get them direct from the manufacturer you should be in much better shape and will avoid the knockoffs and fakes.
