How do they compare to the chesters? I'm on old mg-1, and looking for new pedals, thinking plastic with metal pins

Chester is rad. Wahwah is larger platform, thinner, larger bearing, and lower Q-factor.

I don't have a set, currently running Deity Compound, but will be on some come summer. Considering replacing my Atlas pedals with them to test them out.

Chester is a little bigger platform than the MG-1. Wahwah is more like the platform size of a Vault, without the price tag. Or the weight. But not the Vault MG/ti. That thing is baller. And priced accordingly.

Neither of those are plastic with metal pins, just for relevance sake.

If we're talking metals, Atlas are hard to beat for platform feel, and while mine have been smooth and awesome with a little bit of work here and there, have heard problems with reliability.

I personally like the chromag contacts for metal, and chesters are great for plastic.

I'm on NS Radiance and Deity Compounds, both great pedals. But I Think I like the Radiance a little more, the compound actually has too much grip with 510's. Might file down the pins a bit.

Those WahWahs look very tempting though...

Yeah I said F'it and just got the vaults again. Only thing is I won't ride them without shin guards lol... those pins would go to the white meat!

Yeah my wife has chesters and my brother has compounds, so I was interested in other options, I will check the thermalite sp, but I want sealed...probably arent.

My shins are bad from mg1 slip in the fall...wearing the shins now......

Your lucky you actually have meat there... I have the skeletor looking shins that are literally skin and bone. I always ride with shin pads.

Those Kona pedals are looking pretty damn nice! I would've never looked into them

That's really nice. I didn't think a Pike would take a 2.8. Maybe not a chunkier, nobby 2.8 but those speedsters are pretty lo-pro. Cool idea.
