FAQs
Are these pedals compatible with all mountain bike shoes?
They are compatible with any mountain bike shoe that uses the standard 2-bolt SPD-style mounting pattern.
Can I rebuild these pedals myself?
Yes, the Union Gravity pedals are designed to be fully serviceable and rebuildable with standard tools.
What is the benefit of the 14 replaceable pins?
The pins provide additional grip and platform support, allowing you to maintain control even if you are not fully clipped into the mechanism.
Which cleat option should I choose?
Choose based on your preference for 'float'; if you like more movement, opt for the 5-degree float, whereas 4 degrees offers a more locked-in feel.
Are the pedals made of plastic?
No, they are CNC machined from premium materials, ensuring high-strength performance suitable for gravity riding.
How often should I service the bearings?
Service intervals depend on riding conditions, but we recommend checking them every few months or after riding in exceptionally wet or muddy weather.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty clipping in
Check that the shoe sole is not interfering with the pedal platform and ensure the cleat is clean of dried mud or debris.
Pedal feels 'gritty' during rotation
The bearings may require cleaning and fresh grease; inspect the seals for damage or dirt ingress.
Pins are worn down
The 14 pins are replaceable; order a replacement pin kit and use a hex key to swap out worn units.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install your Hope Union Gravity Pedals, use a standard pedal wrench to secure the Cr-Mo axles to your crank arms, ensuring you observe the correct left and right threading.
Cleat Setup:
- Select your preferred cleat based on the provided options for float (4 or 5 degrees) and release angle (12 or 13 degrees).
- Bolt the cleats onto your mountain bike shoes, ensuring the 2mm lateral float is centered to your natural foot position.
- Test the release angle in a stationary position against a wall to ensure you can exit the pedals safely before heading onto the trail.
Care:
Given the precision engineering of the three cartridge bearings and Norglide bush, periodically check for play in the axle. If you notice resistance or noise, the pedals can be disassembled for cleaning and regreasing. Always use high-quality bike grease during reassembly to ensure water resistance.
