Product Information
Full details
These One-Up Components Composite Pedals are designed for riders with smaller shoe sizes (US 6.5 M / US 8 W / EU 38 and below) seeking enhanced grip and reduced pedal strikes. Their ultra-thin, convex design offers a secure fit and minimizes impacts on rough terrain, while their lightweight construction aids climbing efficiency. A potential consideration is the smaller platform size, which may require adjustment for riders accustomed to larger pedals.

FAQs
What shoe sizes are these pedals best suited for?
These pedals are optimized for shoe sizes US 6.5 (Men's), US 8 (Women's), US 6 (Kids'), and EU 38 and below.
Are these pedals suitable for downhill mountain biking?
While durable, they are designed for trail and enduro riding. For extreme downhill where maximum durability and grip are paramount, metal pedals might be preferred. However, their reduced pedal strike is beneficial in technical downhill sections.
How do I replace the pins?
The pins can be removed and installed using a 5mm Allen key. Ensure you thread them in straight to avoid damaging the pedal body.
What is the weight of these pedals?
The pair of pedals weighs approximately 330g.
Can I use these pedals with clipless cycling shoes?
No, these are flat composite pedals designed for use with standard flat-soled mountain bike shoes.
What is the thickness of the pedal body?
The pedal thickness is 18mm.
Do these pedals come with replacement pins?
The pedals are supplied with 14 pre-installed pins. Replacement pins are not typically included but can be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Pedals feel loose after installation
Remove the pedal and re-thread it, ensuring it is properly seated in the crank arm. Tighten securely with a pedal wrench.
Grip is not sufficient
Ensure your shoes are clean and compatible with flat pedals. Check that all pins are present and properly installed. Consider using shoes with softer rubber outsoles for better traction.
Pedal body creeks or makes noise
Remove the pedals, clean the threads on both the pedal spindle and crank arm, apply a small amount of grease to the threads, and reinstall securely.
Pins are difficult to remove or install
Use a 5mm Allen key for installation and removal. If a pin is seized, try applying a penetrating lubricant and allow it to sit before attempting removal again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your crank arms are clean and free of debris where the pedals will thread in.
- Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. They are typically marked on the pedal body or spindle.
- Thread the right pedal clockwise into the right crank arm and the left pedal counter-clockwise into the left crank arm.
- Tighten securely using a pedal wrench or appropriate tool. Ensure they are snug but do not overtighten.
Compatibility:
These pedals are compatible with standard 9/16" pedal threads found on most modern cranksets, including those made from carbon, aluminum, steel, and titanium.
Care:
- Clean the pedals regularly with water and a mild soap. A brush can help remove stubborn dirt from the pins and body.
- Periodically check the pins to ensure they are secure. Replace any damaged or missing pins.
- Inspect the pedal threads for damage before installation and after removal.
