Strengths:    Wide; Thin profile; Weight; Color Choices; Fell Solid Underfoot; Price

Weaknesses:    Durability ... do not stand up to light-moderate rock strikes
Grip ... especially in areas where there are a lot of small bumps

Bottom Line:

I didn't find the grip to be very confidence inspiring. Does well until you come across a lot of chatter (small bumps). Also found the center (4) pins to be a bit uncomfortable due to the angled area they were in. Ended up removing (2) of them, which helped. Also, the adjustable pins could be a bit longer ... I found myself backing them out as far as they could go, just before they became loose.

I did like the size. The do feel solid underfoot. Spin nicely.

I didn't find them to be too resilient to light-moderate rock strikes. My first rock strike was a pretty light; which resulted in a nice ding in the pedal. The next rock strike was moderate (not even enough to disrupt my riding); which resulted in denting-in the pedal at the strike point ... which bent the pedal clear to the other side.

Gave these 2 Chilis for Over All rating because that's what "fair" is rated at ... and these pedals are fair. Just can't go as far to say they are "good" because they really aren't IMHO; purely due to their durability.

Gave these 3 Chilis for value because for the money ... they are thin, light, wide, feel solid underfoot, and have multiple color choices.

Strengths:    Smooth roll, substantial foot placement and excellent grip. I went from factory pedals on my Gary Fisher Wahoo to these(VP-001) in gold color and will not look back. From the first ride on trails I noticed all the benefits. Buy these and you will not regret it.

Weaknesses:    They are a little wider than my factory pedals, but that is it.

Bottom Line:

Buy them and be happy.
