FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Wave profile?
The Wave profile is designed to offer a unique blend of convex and concave shapes, cradling the foot for enhanced grip, stability, and a more natural pedaling stroke.
How do I adjust the grip level on these pedals?
The grip level can be adjusted by screwing the M4 hollow threaded pins in or out. Tighten them for more grip, or loosen them for less.
What material are the OneUp Components Wave Pedals made from?
The pedals feature a durable forged and CNC'd 6061 Aluminium body.
What type of bearings do these pedals use?
They utilize a sealed chromoly axle with Igus bushings and three outboard cartridge bearings for smooth, reliable performance.
Are these pedals suitable for all types of bikes?
These pedals are primarily designed for mountain biking, including trail, enduro, and downhill riding, where enhanced grip and control are beneficial.
How often should I perform maintenance on the pedals?
Regular cleaning after rides is recommended. The sealed bearing system is low-maintenance, but check for smooth rotation periodically. Refer to the care instructions for detailed guidance.
Can I replace the pins if they get damaged?
Yes, the M4 hollow threaded pins are replaceable. Ensure you use compatible pins from OneUp Components or a reputable aftermarket supplier.
Troubleshooting
Pedals feel loose after installation
Ensure pedals are tightened securely with a pedal wrench. Verify correct threading for left and right pedals.
Grip is not sufficient or too aggressive
Adjust the depth of the M4 hollow threaded pins. Screw them in further for more grip, or back them out for less.
Pedal rotation feels stiff or gritty
Clean the pedal body and around the bearing seals. If stiffness persists, the internal bearings may require servicing or replacement.
Pins are difficult to adjust or remove
Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the pin threads. Ensure you are using the correct tool and applying steady pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Install Pedals: Use a pedal wrench to securely tighten the pedals into the crank arms. Remember that the left pedal (marked 'L') has a reverse thread and tightens counter-clockwise, while the right pedal (marked 'R') tightens clockwise.
- Adjust Pins: Screw in the M4 hollow threaded pins using the provided tool or a hex wrench. Adjust the depth of each pin to achieve your desired level of grip.
Compatibility:
- Crank Arms: Compatible with all standard crank arms featuring a 9/16" pedal thread.
- Riding Style: Ideal for trail, enduro, and downhill mountain biking.
Care:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the pedals with water and a mild soap. Use a brush to remove any dirt from the pins and pedal body. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on the bearings.
- Bearing Maintenance: The sealed bearing system requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check for smooth rotation. If resistance is felt, professional servicing or replacement of the bearing seals may be necessary.
