Product Information
Full details
The Hope Union Gravity Pedals are designed for aggressive mountain bikers and downhill riders who prioritize consistent engagement and a stable platform for technical terrain. These pedals excel by offering a large contact area and dual-sided entry for rapid clipping, though they require a break-in period to dial in the retention tension to your specific riding style.

FAQs
Are these pedals suitable for beginner mountain bikers?
While durable enough for any skill level, their performance is specifically tuned for gravity and technical riding, which may be more than a beginner requires.
Can I use these with other brand cleats?
No, the Hope Union Gravity Pedals are designed specifically for use with the included Hope Union cleats for optimal engagement.
How often should I service the bearings?
Service frequency depends on riding conditions; however, an annual inspection is recommended for riders in wet or muddy climates.
What is the benefit of the replaceable pins?
The pins provide extra traction when you are riding unclipped or need to quickly adjust your foot position in technical terrain.
Are the axles interchangeable with other Hope pedals?
You should only use the specific axle components designed for the Union Gravity model to ensure structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Pedal feels 'sticky' or difficult to rotate
Check for debris accumulation in the bearing seals and consider a service to re-grease the internal bush and cartridge bearings.
Cleats are difficult to clip out
Adjust the tension bolt on the pedal mechanism to a lower setting, or switch to the alternative set of cleats provided to gain a different release angle.
Pros and Cons

- Retention tension requires periodic adjustment
- Premium price point reflecting high-end manufacturing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard 8mm hex key. Ensure that you apply a light layer of grease to the threads of the Cr-Mo axles before threading them into your crank arms to prevent seizing.
Compatibility: These pedals work with the included Hope Union cleats. Verify that your shoe soles have enough clearance for the cleat engagement if using gravity-specific footwear.
Care: To maintain smooth operation, perform a standard inspection of the bearings every season. Because the pedals are fully rebuildable, you can replace the cartridge bearings or the internal bush if you detect any play or friction. Periodically check that the pins remain tight, and replace any pins that have become rounded or damaged from rock strikes.
