These COMPLETE KNOCKOFF mountain bike pedals have me heated!
Переглядів 1,619,827
4 роки томуToday, we examine a complete copy of the Raceface Chester pedals by a company called "Fooker". This is an appropriate name for a company that hired sponsored ads on Amazon to appear above Raceface's original pedal. I guess spending money on engineers and R&D isn't as effective as cheating.
In any case, they made a copy of a good pedal and did a good job of it. If you bought the Fookers, you made a smart decision and probably bought a decent pedal. I'm just frustrated with the blatant
reverse engineering.

“I’m not saying these pedals suck, I just hate that they exist.” 😂
@mmodtomic7119 4 роки тому
They BOTH suck for the average biker. The outer "bearings" are just cheap Bushings instead of more expensive Sealed Bearing Cartridges. How long does straight metal on metal last? Great for weight and $$ savings...at the cost of durability and longevity. I get it for a competitive rider...like how Race Cars go through engines, but the average motorist would never stand for having to rebuild there engine after every few commutes!

@tairny 4 роки тому
@@mmodtomic7119 the vast majority of even higher end pedals use a du bushing for the inner bearing, the outer is usually a bearing like shown on the raceface. its not metal on metal contact, its a bearing material, some sort of polymer. I have seen very few even high end pedals use a ball bearing as the inner bearing, they simply do not have the weight capacity that a proper bushing does.

Forget 3D scanning, or even stealing the molds, if the RaceFace ones are made in China, the Fookers are probably made on literally the same machines. It’s very common these days to make the “American” product on a contract, and then produce a cheaper low-spec and sell on the side for wayyy cheaper.

You can use an adjustable soldering iron to get an idea of how strong a plastic blend is. The more heat it takes to melt usually means it has more glass, carbon, or aramid blended in it. Cheap parts have little or no fiber in them and will melt at a low temp. Take the soldering iron at it’s lowest setting and touch the tip to the plastic of both peddles. Slowly turn the heat up while testing each part. It’s not exactly scientific but it will give you some idea of what the plastic is made of.

Just pay the money and get the real deal! Stay safe!

At 4:39 The fooker pedal shaft above the seal is a third less the diameter of the race face shaft. This is where the shaft will bend when landing heavy on most pedals, but on the fooker I would say a light to moderate landing would bend them. I reckon I could bend them just bouncing through the suspension stroke stationary.

@XennialGuy Рік тому
I bought two sets of Raceface Chester's, and both sets started to fail at the bearings. The second set never felt right from the beginning, one of the bearings was clicky from day one. It eventually completely failed and the bearings split apart on a light trail and the pedal slid off the spindle and had catastrophic failure. I paid $50 for those. I decided to try the newer designed Fooker brand with needle bearings for $25 and figured it couldn't be any worse than the Raceface brand. Boy what a better quality set for half the price! The updated Fookers just feel better, spin more smoothly, and have zero play. They have been improved since this video was made. Honestly, they are now built better than the Chester's and will be my new go to pedal for EMTB riding. They also come with spare pins and shims as a courtesy. The Raceface warranty requires you to fill out a form and give your CC number so they can charge you. Skip them and go Fooker.
@AndrewMiguelez 4 роки тому
They were probably made by the same factory that makes the originals. Whenever they aren't fulfilling orders for Race Face, they keep the line moving and produce the knockoffs with the same mold. A few cheaper parts later, they have a copy for extra profit. This happens all the time with electronics. I'm not surprised to see it with bike parts.

Hey, I am using Mzyrh pedals from Aliexpress that are different mold, mine have totally flat platform. Yet they also look totally like some cool brand. They have great quality and good sealing, I am riding them through winter and rains, 100% fine. I have only diluted the bearing greaze since it was freezing over at -20C in winter. That brand also have the same looking pedals like you have reviewed now. In my opinion, its all the same Chinese manufacturer, with some branding done and some changes made to change the price/quality balance.

If Race Face truly represent MTBing I've been doing it wrong all along by buying from companies that spec durable bearings and use materials other than what appears to be some sort of hardish cheese for their load bearing parts.

bread is very similar also. big grocery stores carry their own "brand" of bread. Meanwhile, bread from NEARLY EVERY "brand" you see on the bread aisle at the grocery store comes out of the very same bread factory. When prices are significantly different, there will be changes to the product but overall it'll be similar. The best example i personally came across is the 3M green/yellow scrubber for doing dishes. The normal stores carry them for $2.50 each or whatever. I saw them at a dollar store for $1.25 in the same 3M wrapper and it all looked the same except this wrapper had dollar store logo added onto it. I get home and compare it to a real one and the green scrubbing side is 1/2 the thickness, the yellow sponge is 1/2 the thickness...and guess what? It fell apart in a fraction of the time. It looked the same, same brand even, but it was definitely NOT the same as one you would get if you paid full price in a normal store.

That’s how supply chains work for the most part. Chester doesn’t create every piece in their own pedals, neither does fooker. They both source them from OEMs and then build their product. the difference is where they source them from and the quality of the production. Chester obviously cares for the quality, and thus has quality manufacturers which is reflected in the cost and craftsmanship of the product. Fooker on the other hand found a manufacturer that could make the same pieces for the cheapest price with 0 regard towards quality.

Should’ve have a counter going, every time you said water. lol. Secondly you should’ve tried swapping internal parts to check fitment. Love the channel keep up the good work. Ordering some of the fookers for my Kona. Thanks!
@portland97211 3 роки тому
That internal sleeve nut is designed to put pressure on the outside bearing race. So the hole in the middle of it is really just a design thing rather than a way to keep water out or grease in. Just a heads up since it really seemed to upset you.

They aren't, the material is quite different and you will notice the durability issues about 5 months riding them. Like Seth said, the type of steel and bearing type make a huge difference in durability. You won't notice it short term but they will snap at the 6-8 month mark.

Precisely. I used to design power tools and Bosch, Ingersoll rand, atlas copco and my company all sourced grinders from one company. We would even use the same designs, just pay more to have “exclusive feature” and change the look outside. Most but not all of the parts were interchangeable. Sioux and others Chinese brands were selling the exact same tool but at way lower profit margins.
@Ghostiification 4 роки тому
Well to be fair, pretty much all batteries etc are made in the same factories. You know, those Samsung one's that cost 20€ are just manufactured in the same place where they make those pirate 5€ batteries aswell. But the difference always is that the legit companies have to follow restrictions and guidelines, while the others don't. That's the main concern with pirated products.

I have the same RaceFace pedals on my old RockHopper... I also have a different style Fooker pedal on my ebike (wanted a red flat pedal with pegs that also had reflective parts, they were the only ones I could find that had that) I've ridden well over 5,000 miles with the Fooker, including in heavy PNW rains that have turned my route into endless deep puddles with water constantly splashing over my feet. I've had no issues with the Fookers so far. Haven't opened them up to see how the bearings are doing, but they spin fine still. Not saying I'd recommend them over the RF, but at least they aren't complete trash.

@roseroserose588 4 роки тому
At a guess, the fooker pedals are made in the exact same factory as the raceface pedals, potentially ones that didn't pass QA or maybe the factory just sells that design to multiple different brands and the fooker pedals are just finished with cheaper hardware.
@MrJeffdahmer 4 роки тому
I bet it's not even cheaper hardware. Race face orders 100,000 units from the factory in China, the factory delivers the product but they still have all the molds and means to produce the pedals with the knowledge they can sell them at half the price and still make a profit. Who wouldn't?
@treewizzard 4 роки тому

Seth, have you thought about doing a video like this where you tear down a high end brake caliper & handle (shimano xt/xtr for example) and do a comparative tear down on an entry level set (like Shimano acera)? IMO brakes are one of those areas where you get diminishing returns the more money you spend. I’ve upgraded almost everything on my full suspension except for my brakes because even entry level hydraulic brakes are really good these days, but i’d love to know where the extra money goes on really expensive brakes besides just weight savings.

So i just bought pedals, AU$28 (US$17.75) RockBros, Nylon / Plastic, with proper screw in bolted spikes, 4 enclosed bearings per pedal, they feel perfect ie you can't feel any slop, good rubber bungs / o-rings to keep the dirt out, they are excellent, even for road riding, i don't slip off them esp'' in the wet, and i get more power when my feet have a good horizontal pedalling component, could not find Fookers, glad i couldn't. My current bike is all dark grey / black, didn't want to cheapen it up with lots of anodised colour, however i purchased a yellow-green set, so that is now the 1 highlight colour allowed on that bike, again is good for road riding, large bright rotating pedals on a largely dark bike background. Cheers!
