OneUp Components: Pedals and One Up Bike Parts
Updated · DrPedal is independent and not affiliated with OneUp Components
Which to pick
One Up bike parts come from OneUp Components, a rider-run brand in Squamish, Canada, best known for its V3 dropper post, EDC steerer tool and three pedals. For flats, pick the Aluminum pedal for a thin, stiff platform or the Composite for the same 115 x 105 mm shape at a lower price tier. For clipless, the Clip pedal is a slim SPD-compatible trail pedal that works with Shimano SM-SH51 cleats as well as OneUp's own.

OneUp V3 Dropper Post
Best for: Getting the most drop into a given frame
Travel-adjustable dropper with a low stack height and a sealed cartridge.
OneUp EDC Tool
Best for: Carrying a multi-tool inside your steerer
Multi-tool that stores inside the fork steerer, so trailside fixes need no pack.
What One Up bike parts are known for
OneUp Components is a small rider-run company in Squamish, British Columbia, that designs parts it wants on its own bikes. Its best-known products are:
- V3 dropper post: travel-adjustable, with a short stack so riders can fit a longer drop.
- EDC tool system: a multi-tool and accessories that live inside the fork steerer.
- Handlebars: carbon and aluminum bars with OneUp’s oval-shaped profile.
- Drivetrain parts: chainrings, chain guides and bash guards.
Pedals are a smaller part of the range: two flats and one clip pedal.
OneUp pedals explained
Aluminum and Composite flats
Both flats use the same 115 x 105 mm platform, 10 replaceable steel pins per side and a chromoly axle. The Aluminum is the thinner, stiffer pedal. The Composite is thicker and lighter on the wallet, and nylon tends to glance off rocks rather than bend. Swap or shorten pins to tune grip; see our pedal pins guide.
Clip pedal
The Clip is OneUp’s SPD-compatible trail pedal, notable for its slim body. OneUp’s cleats give 5° float and a 12° release angle. Shimano SM-SH51 cleats also fit, which helps if you run SPD pedals on other bikes. If your shoe tread holds the cleat off the binding, add cleat shims.
Which OneUp pedal should you buy?
- Flats, best grip and stiffness: Aluminum.
- Flats on a budget or for rocky trails: Composite.
- Clipless for trail riding: Clip.
All three use a standard 9/16” thread, and the left pedal is reverse threaded.
OneUp pedals vs rivals
The Aluminum’s 115 x 105 mm platform is larger than the Burgtec Penthouse MK5 and Hope F22, which suits bigger feet. The Composite competes with the Burgtec MK4 Composite and SDG Comp.
The Clip competes with Shimano’s trail SPD pedals and the Crankbrothers Mallet E. Unlike Crankbrothers, it keeps you on Shimano-compatible cleats. Compare more options in our flat pedals guide.
