OneUp Components

Frequently Asked Questions

• What sets OneUp Components apart from other mountain‑bike component brands?

  OneUp is a Squamish, British Columbia–based company built around a “would I buy this myself?” design philosophy, which drives compact, user‑focused innovation across pedals, dropper posts, handlebars and tools. The brand emphasizes lightweight, durable parts—like thin‑profile pedals and 7075‑T6 hubs—plus practical features such as replaceable pins and field‑serviceable EDC tools that prioritize real‑world rideability.
• What is the Wave pedal design and why might a rider choose it?

  The Wave pedal uses a unique wave profile—concave at the front and convex at the rear—to combine secure grip with improved pedal‑strike clearance, and it weighs about 178 g per pedal. Its thin center (≈14.2 mm) and even thinner edges (≈11.5 mm) help keep feet connected on technical terrain while shedding unwanted pedal strikes.
• How does OneUp balance weight and durability across its pedal lineup?

  OneUp offers a range tuned to different priorities: Composite Pedals at roughly 355 g per pair for low weight, Aluminum Pedals around 386 g for added toughness, and Clip Pedals (XC) engineered very slim (≈14.4 mm over axle) for racing. Across the lineup OneUp uses robust hardware—chromoly steel axles and stainless steel, replaceable hex pins—so the platform stays durable even where bodies are optimized for lightness.
• What materials and construction highlights should riders know about OneUp products?

  OneUp blends lightweight alloys and durable steels—examples include 7075‑T6 aluminum in hubs, chromoly steel axles, stainless steel pins, and nylon composite pedal bodies—to hit strength and weight targets. Their handlebars feature a patent‑pending oval design and many components are built for serviceability (replaceable pins, field‑service EDC tools), reflecting an emphasis on smart materials and practical manufacturing.
• How does OneUp’s accessory ecosystem (grips, EDC tools, dropper posts) add value to a bike build?

  OneUp coordinates small but meaningful items—color‑matched grips and pedals for cohesive aesthetics, compact EDC tools and mini pumps for on‑trail repairs, and dropper posts and handlebars designed to work together ergonomically—to create a system that’s easier to maintain and tune. That ecosystem approach helps riders simplify upgrades and replacement parts while keeping weight and functionality aligned with their riding style.
