Product Information
Full details
The Hope Union Trail Mountain Bike Clipless Pedals are designed for mountain bikers seeking a reliable, high-performance connection between their shoes and the drivetrain. These pedals excel in providing a large contact platform for superior stability and power transfer, making them ideal for aggressive trail riding and quick technical starts. While they offer exceptional build quality and fully serviceable parts, users should note that the dual-sided mechanism and cleat system may require an adjustment period for riders switching from other pedal platforms.

FAQs
Are these pedals compatible with all mountain bike shoes?
Yes, they use a standard 2-bolt SPD-style mounting pattern compatible with almost all mountain bike shoes.
Can I adjust the release tension?
The Hope Union system relies on the specific cleat choice to manage float, with tension being consistent across the design.
What is the weight of the pedals?
The weight starts from 437g per pair.
What does the 55mm Q-Factor mean?
The Q-factor is the distance between the pedal attachment points on the crank arms, and 55mm is a standard width for modern trail bikes.
Are spare parts available for these pedals?
Yes, because the pedals are fully rebuildable, Hope provides replacement bearings, bushes, and pins.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty clipping out of the pedal
Verify the cleat bolts are tightened to spec and check if the cleat is clogged with dried mud or debris.
Unusual clicking or creaking noises
Apply a small amount of bike grease to the cleat and the contact points on the pedal body.
Pedal feels rough when spinning
The cartridge bearings or Norglide bush may require service or replacement; inspect for internal contamination.
Pros and Cons

- Large contact area improves stability during descent
- Fully serviceable and rebuildable for long-term ownership
- Consistent cleat release action

Cons
- Heavier than some minimalist racing pedal options
- Requires maintenance to keep bearings smooth over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard 8mm hex wrench. When installing, ensure the threads are cleaned and lightly greased to prevent seizing. The pedals come with two sets of cleats; test both the 5-degree and 12-degree float options to determine which allows for a comfortable range of ankle movement for your specific riding style. To maintain performance, regularly clean the mechanism of grit and mud using a soft brush. Periodically inspect the pins for wear and check the axle for any play. Because the unit is fully rebuildable, consult a professional mechanic if the bearings require replacement or if the pedal body develops significant side-to-side movement.
