About this deal

The OneUp Components Aluminum Pedals hit the scale at 370-grams per set. Just holding them in your hand they feel lighter than other alloy pedals. On the bike, you may not notice the few additional grams over their lighter weight competitors, but you may notice the 60 plus grams lighter they are than the heaviest models we tested. Value Despite the convex platform profile, where the leading and trailing edges are narrower than the centre axle housing, the sharp and well-placed pins do a good job of mitigating foot slip and improving grip. Even though the tall pins focus pressure into your shoe’s sole, it’s still possible to sense the axle housing through your feet. This is far from the thinnest platform in our review, but it is respectable and features a convex shape. By design, out of the box our pedals have some resistance to free spinning. This can be adjusted by adding or removing grease upon disassembly. Free spinning will increase over time and wear of the bushing.

Maybe Shimano just has their pedal construction perfected with conical races/cones and bearings, just like their "old fashioned" (and easily serviced) hubs. Somewhere along the line, people were convinced that press-in bearings were better, even on pedals. vernonfelton My armchair assessment is that when you ride flats, tossing a bike to escape situations is easier to do, versus clipless, where tossing the bike happens less frequently because your meat is probably still attached. That instinct for self-preservation probably saves a lot of pedal abuse. On clipless, a lot of stress is focused directly over the axle on a virtually indestructible cleat, with support coming from the sole if the shoe. On flats, it would seem the bigger the pedal platform, the more leverage the weight of the bike and/or rider has to bend, break and grind up the internals, axles and pedal bodies. Although this didn’t reduce grip, it did impact stability and meant accurate foot placement was important for optimum support. I was able to reposition my feet on the platforms, which was helpful.I bought a set of Crankbrothers Stamp pedals at the start of this season to experiment with platform pedals, after years of riding with SPD clips (and anxiety over low-speed stall-falls). After several months of anxiety-free riding, I'm pretty much sold on platforms. Credit is provided by a panel of lenders with whom we have a commercial relationship (so we cannot provide independent advice). Pin Quantity: 10 per side, 20 per pedal, 40 in total. The replaceable pins are rear loading as well so they are easier to change out in the future. An inexpensive pedal that works great as a commuter, but less suitable as a true mountain bike pedal DUE TO THE CURRENT HIGH DEMAND, DELIVERY TIME FOR BIKES IS 7-10 DAYS. ALL PARTS AND ACCESSORIES ARE STILL 1-2 DAYS.

The Aluminum pedals delivered fantastic levels of grip and traction. These pedals feature ten sizable traction pins. Our testers used these pedals with two different types of shoes, one wore Specialized 2FO shoes with SlipNot rubber, and the other wore the Bontrager Flatline with Vibram rubber. Both testers agreed that these pedals deliver an impressive but not overwhelming grip.At 113mm by 103mm, the broad platform measures up favourably against the regular Crank Brothers Stamp. Effectively you get more real estate on which to plant your foot, without adding to the overall width – so they’re less likely to catch on trailside debris, or indeed the ground when cranked over. Prompty took them all off and tried the OneUp Al version. They feel great and I like that they are even thinner (had to lower my seat a few mm's). I think I like the slightly convex better than the concave as well. The platform is big at 115x110 without being too big as it extends the pedaling surface close to the crank where the axle meets it. 10 long, removable pins are placed at the outer edges and on the middle of the pedal.

Does not match up with similar priced budget pedals in terms of grip and mobility but still finds value within commuter style applicationsDesigned with a subtle convex profile to provide you with more grip thanks to the pedal sitting in the natural arch of your foot. The thin leading edge chamfered design gives you maximum clearance to reduce pedal strikes and deflect off trail obstacles. The only reason a couple of companies offer plastic pedals is for people learning. So they wont mess their legs too badly. Anything else, they are just toy pedals. The Oneup Components Aluminum Pedal is a lightweight and durable platform pedal designed for mountain biking. It features a slim profile and a concave platform that provides superior grip and control. For the ultimate flat pedal torture test, I grabbed my hardtail and headed out to Whistler to shred some gnarly bike park. There was no foot pedal separation the entire first half of the day. The pedals inspired confidence through the beer can size braking bumps and provided a great transfer of power out of corners. I found myself sitting down briefly to adjust my foot on some of the rougher sections, with how soft my shoes are the pins felt glued to the bottom.

freestyIAM: Because Shimano produces all of their own products there is no Middle man. They sell their merchandise directly to retailers so the savings gets passed onto everyone. And when your SPD design hasnt changed in years, casting some different alloy frames to go around the retention system is fooking cheap. The OneUp Aluminum Pedals have a high-quality build and finish. The sleek and attractive appearance is paired with some critical details that OneUp nailed. For example, the pins load with a slightly larger three-millimeter allen key, making them harder to strip. It is the details that count. OneUp also includes four replacement pins with the pedals, and pin and bearing rebuild kits are reasonably priced and readily available. I ended up having to melt the plastic away on my crank boots with a soldering iron since the plastic is so tough a knife wouldn't cut through. This helped but the pedal still has drag and doesn't spin as it should, which is annoying sometimes. We rode this pedal in our local forests and felt confident enough to take it on a 10-day road trip to Moab and Fruita. The pedals performed flawlessly and just seemed to get better with time as they spun more freely and the edges were smoothed out. The OneUp Aluminum did not lose many points in this metric because a spacer kit is readily available. This allows you to shorten the pins by adding a washer on the loading side of the pedal. If mobility is important, you can shorten some or all pins. These spacers can also be used to simulate concavity on the pedal by shortening the pins in the middle and keeping the front and rear pins long.A budget oriented pedal that offers adequate grip and a midsize platform but may be less apealing compared to established brands The pedals performed flawlessly and just seemed to get better with time as they spun more freely and the edges were smoothed out. The best thing about them is the grip. Heel down, heel up or pedaling out of saddle, the pedals always provided reliable and predictable grip." Thanks to the average-sized platform, once my feet had twisted they overlapped the sides of the platform, unsupported by the pedals. eddieefc: what is the logic behind your comment? Plastic pedals break, they are not going to last 5 years.
