FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Wave profile?
The Wave profile offers a unique blend of convex and concave shapes that cradle the ball of your foot while encouraging a heels-down stance, leading to enhanced grip and control.
Are these pedals compatible with clipless systems?
No, the One-Up Components Wave Pedals are designed as flat pedals and are not compatible with clipless binding systems.
How many pins are included, and are they adjustable?
Each pedal comes with 9 installed M4 hollow threaded pins, and a total of 10 spare/uninstalled pins are included. The pins are adjustable for customized grip.
What materials are the pedals made from?
The pedal bodies are constructed from forged and CNC'd 6061 Aluminium, and they feature a sealed chromoly axle.
What tools are included with the pedals?
The package includes a Pedal Bearing Nut Tool and all necessary M4 pins (installed and spare).
How do I maintain the bearings?
The pedals utilize an advanced bearing system with sealed components. Basic care involves cleaning and ensuring the pedals are securely fastened. For more involved maintenance, consult the manufacturer's service guide.
Can I replace the pins with aftermarket ones?
Yes, as long as they are M4 threaded pins of a similar length, aftermarket pins can often be used. However, it's recommended to use the provided pins for optimal performance and compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Pedals feel loose or wobbly
Check if the pedals are fully tightened into the crank arms. If tightening does not resolve the issue, the bearings may need servicing or replacement.
Grip is insufficient or inconsistent
Ensure all M4 hollow threaded pins are correctly installed and screwed in securely. Clean the pins and pedal body of dirt or mud. Consider adjusting pin height or replacing worn pins.
Pedals are difficult to turn or are stiff
This could indicate an issue with the internal bearings. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for bearing maintenance or contact customer support if the issue persists.
Pins are stripped or damaged
Replace damaged pins using the spare pins provided. Ensure the new pins are screwed in straight and fully tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:

Setup:
- Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. They are typically marked on the pedal body or spindle.
- Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads.
- For the right pedal (drive side), thread it into the crank arm *counter-clockwise*.
- For the left pedal (non-drive side), thread it into the crank arm *clockwise*.
- Tighten the pedals firmly using an 8mm Allen key (or the included Pedal Bearing Nut Tool for final securing).
- Adjust the M4 hollow threaded pins to your desired grip level. Screw them in using an 8mm Allen key. Ensure all pins are securely installed and that the tread is fully engaged in the pedal body.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean pedals with water and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washing directly at the bearings.
- Bearing Maintenance: Periodically check for play in the pedals. If noticeable, refer to the manufacturer's service guide for bearing maintenance or replacement, which may involve using the included Pedal Bearing Nut Tool.
