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. The polarizing bulge on the Aluminum pedals houses the bearing. These pedals have a very predictable and controlled spin to them. eddieefc: what is the logic behind your comment? Plastic pedals break, they are not going to last 5 years. 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.

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. 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. 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.

Thanks to the average-sized platform, once my feet had twisted they overlapped the sides of the platform, unsupported by the pedals.

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 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. 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 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.

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. 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. 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." Credit is provided by a panel of lenders with whom we have a commercial relationship (so we cannot provide independent advice). 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.

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.

Who's this item for: Flat pedal riders who are after a great performing, good quality pedal at an affordable price.riiz: Agree 100%. I live in Australia and the big UK companies will ship most stuff to Oz for free. Having ridden on Nanos for a week in the UK I was keen to get some, but the postage on a pair of GBP50 pedals was GBP90!!! 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 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. 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.
