Product Information

Full details

The Hope Union Gravity Clip-in Pedals are engineered for mountain bike enthusiasts and gravity riders who demand a balance between robust platform stability and the reliability of a clip-in interface. These pedals excel by offering a large shoe-to-platform contact area that ensures efficient power transfer while maintaining a consistent engagement feel across varied terrain. While they offer premium build quality and serviceability, their performance-oriented design may require a brief adjustment period for riders accustomed to other clip-in systems.

FAQs

Are these pedals compatible with all MTB shoes?

Yes, they are compatible with standard 2-bolt SPD-style mountain bike shoes.

Can I upgrade the axle to titanium?

Yes, Hope offers optional titanium axle upgrades that reduce weight while maintaining high strength.

What is the difference between the two included cleat options?

The two options vary in terms of float (the amount of movement before release) and the degree of angle required to release, allowing you to choose between more freedom or more immediate exit.

Are these pedals fully serviceable?

Absolutely. Hope designs these to be completely rebuildable with spare parts, including bearings, bushings, and seals.

How often should I service my pedals?

For aggressive riders, an annual inspection and service is recommended to maintain optimal performance and bearing life.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty clipping in

Check for debris in the cleat mechanism and ensure your shoe cleats are not clogged with mud. Verify that your cleat hardware is tightened to the correct torque.

Pedal feels 'gritty' during rotation

The bearings or norglide bush may require cleaning and fresh grease. If the issue persists, the pedal may need to be disassembled for a service kit installation.

Excessive play in the pedal body

Check the axle nut tension or inspect the cartridge bearings for wear. Tighten or replace worn bearings as necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional build quality with CNC machined components
  • Fully serviceable and rebuildable for long-term ownership
  • Large contact area provides stable pedaling platform
  • Reliable dual-sided entry in mud and debris
  • Customizable grip through replaceable pins

Cons

  • Higher initial investment compared to entry-level pedals
  • May require a learning curve if transitioning from other clip-in systems
  • Specific maintenance required for bearings and bushes over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard 8mm hex key to attach the pedals to your crank arms, ensuring you respect the left/right threading. To maintain the smooth operation of your pedals:

  1. Routine Inspection: Periodically check that the pedal body pins remain tight and are not excessively worn.
  2. Cleat Adjustment: Experiment with the two provided cleat options to determine which float and release angle best suits your knee comfort and riding style.
  3. Service Intervals: Because these pedals are fully rebuildable, perform an annual inspection of the internal bearings and norglide bush. Clean and re-grease these components to maintain the signature Hope smooth rotation.
  4. Storage: Avoid using high-pressure water sprayers directly on the bearing seals to prevent premature wear.
