FAQs

Are these pedals compatible with Shimano SPD cleats?

No, the Hope Union RC pedals use a proprietary cleat system and are not cross-compatible with SPD cleats.

What is the Q-Factor of these pedals?

The Hope Union RC pedals feature a standard 55mm Q-Factor.

How often should I service the bearings?

Service intervals depend on riding conditions, but with the high-quality cartridge bearings and IGUS bushings, most riders only require a rebuild once per season.

Do the pedals come with cleats included?

Yes, each set includes two cleat options with varying degrees of float and release angles.

Can I replace the titanium axle if it gets damaged?

Yes, the pedal system is fully modular and rebuildable, allowing for the replacement of individual components like the axle.

Are these suitable for road cycling?

While designed for off-road and race use, their lightweight and smooth performance makes them a viable choice for gravel or endurance road riding if you prefer a mountain-style cleat system.

Troubleshooting

Pedal feels stiff or rough when spinning

Check if debris has entered the seal. If cleaning does not resolve the issue, perform a bearing service using the official rebuild kit.

Difficulty clipping in or out

Verify that your cleats are correctly aligned on the shoes. Check the spring tension settings if applicable, and ensure the pedal mechanism is free of packed mud or trail grit.

Audible clicking while pedaling

Ensure the pedal threads are properly greased and torqued to the manufacturer's specification. Check that the cleat bolts on the shoe are tightened securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade titanium axle reduces weight
  • Fully serviceable and rebuildable design
  • Dual-sided entry for ease of use
  • Smooth operation via IGUS bushings and cartridge bearings
  • Multiple cleat float and release angle options included

Cons

  • Requires specific cleat system setup
  • Premium materials command a higher price point
  • Not compatible with standard SPD cleats

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard 8mm hex wrench. Always apply a small amount of high-quality bike grease to the pedal threads before installing into the crank arms to prevent seizing.

Compatibility

These pedals use a proprietary cleat system. Ensure you have installed the provided Hope cleats to your cycling shoes. The included cleats allow for 2mm of lateral float, which can be fine-tuned during the initial setup phase.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a mild soap solution and a brush to keep the mechanism free of mud and debris.
  • Rebuilds: Because these pedals are fully rebuildable, you should monitor for any play in the axle after a full season of heavy use. If play is detected, replacement bearing and bushing kits are available to restore factory-smooth performance.
