Review: OneUp Aluminum Pedals | The Loam Wolf

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. This is far from the thinnest platform in our review, but it is respectable and features a convex shape. 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.

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. Does not match up with similar priced budget pedals in terms of grip and mobility but still finds value within commuter style applications

DUE TO THE CURRENT HIGH DEMAND, DELIVERY TIME FOR BIKES IS 7-10 DAYS. ALL PARTS AND ACCESSORIES ARE STILL 1-2 DAYS. 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.

The bearing is located in this end of the pedal body. The pedals are also labeled left and right. This is a nice touch that can't be overlooked. Immediately upon opening the box I was impressed with just how thin the One Up flat pedals are. They are by far the thinnest pedals I have ever put my hands on. The pins are also significantly thinner in diameter than most other pedals– something I was initially very excited about. Getting them on the bike was a breeze with the left and right graphics. During installation on these cranks, please ensure the pedal is rotating freely, there is space between the pedal body and crank, and the pedal is torqued to 35Nm. I agree with everything you say, but there are a plethora of well-designed flat pedals in AL for about that price, it's just that OneUp priced theirs quite high. 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.

One Up Aluminium Pedal review - MBR - MBR - mountain bike rider

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. 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. 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.A budget oriented pedal that offers adequate grip and a midsize platform but may be less apealing compared to established brands Designed 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. One Up Aluminium Pedal takes a different approach to others, with a single size, slim profile and oversize inboard bearing sitting close to the crank. eddieefc: what is the logic behind your comment? Plastic pedals break, they are not going to last 5 years. 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
