OneUp Components composite pedals


They may have a large 115x105mm platform but, weighing in at just 362g for the pair (only marginally heavier than the claimed 355g), these nylon-composite pedals aren’t going to weigh you down on the trails. There’s plenty of surface area to plant your feet on after dabbing, although, unusually, they’re slightly convex in shape (the centre of the platform sits slightly higher than the outside edge). OneUp reckon this helps reduce rock strikes and deflect obstacles. In practice, we didn’t notice either of these benefits and would have preferred the increased grip and foot-hugging feel of a convex platform. Instead, the pedals rely on their 10 steel pins per side for traction. After putting in a considerable 2,000km on them, they’re still running smoothly, thanks to the DU bushing and cartridge bearing in each pedal. The price puts them in direct competition with HT’s nylon PA03As (reviewed last issue), which still have the edge, thanks to their better shape and grip. Even if the OneUps aren’t the best out there, they’re still strong performers in terms of value, build quality and reliability.
