I love these pedals
"They work perfectly with My shimano SPD cleats. I have at the lowest tension setting and have all the perimeter set screws in and have no problem clicking in."
Clip Pedals
Ultra Thin.
At only 26.8mm, these are the thinnest mountain bike clip pedals in the world. And they have an extra large, DH-sized platform. The ultra thin profile means you get a larger platform that’s less prone to pedal strikes.
Large and Light.
Many other clip pedal platforms don’t even touch your shoe when clipped in. Our lightweight, large platform pedal is designed to actively support your shoe and give you more confidence and control.
Custom Stainless Steel Binding.
Our SPD™ compatible mechanism gives you 5° of float and a 12° release angle with no unwanted play. The tighter cleat fit doesn’t sacrifice float and delivers a locked-in and secure feeling.
Adjustable Cleat Fit.
Fine tune the feel of your pedals with a wider range of spring tension adjustment than Shimano, removable pins and the included cleat spacers for the perfect fit with any shoe.
FAQ
Do I need to install the updated binding plate myself?
Nope! Every pair of pedals has the updated binding plate installed from the get-go, so you're ready to roll, hassle-free.
How is the OneUp binding system different from Shimano SPD™?
Our design focuses on two key improvements: eliminating unnecessary play in the cleat-to-binding connection and increasing the maximum release tension. To achieve this, we completely redesigned the binding and refined the cleat-to-binding connection, creating a tighter, more secure fit without sacrificing float. This provides a locked-in, confident feel while you ride. For greater adjustability and control, we engineered springs with a higher maximum tension and a wider range of usable adjustments, allowing you to fine-tune your setup to match your preferences.
When should I use a cleat spacer? How can I make it easier to clip-in?
If you’re having trouble clipping into the pedal or the binding feels overly tight, even at low tension, there are two adjustments you can make.
First, installing a the provided cleat spacer(s) allows your cleat to make connection with the binding sooner, reducing the interference between the pedal and shoe and making it easier to clip-in.
Second, you can remove the pedal pins to eliminate any additional interference. We recommend starting by adjusting the front pins and then the rear pins, if necessary.
Can I use another brand's SPD™ cleat?
We recommend using our cleats with our pedals. However, Shimano SH51 SPD™ cleats are also compatible. We can't confirm compatibility with, or recommend, any other SPD™ based cleats from other brands. Use these at your own risk.
Are there any shoes that aren't compatible?
While we can't guarantee a completely universal fit with the multitude of shoe brands and sizes out there, any shoes with a 2-bolt cleat mounting interface should be compatible. Cleat spacers may be required in some cases.
Are the pins height adjustable? Can I ride the pedals without pins?
Our Clip Pedals can be used with or without the pins, but the pins themselves are not height adjustable. They are designed to bottom out in the pin hole, functioning like a standard screw.
If you’re trying to make clipping in easier, we recommend using a cleat spacer first to reduce interference between your shoe and the pedal. If additional adjustments are needed after installing the spacer, you can remove the pins to further minimize interference. Start by removing the front pins, and then the rear pins if necessary.
Why are the pins hollow? How can I remove a damaged pin?
The hollow design allows dirt to pass through the pin, eliminating the need to pick dirt out before removal. To remove a damaged pin, you can use a 2.5mm Allen key from either the front or back. If removing it from the back, remember to turn clockwise to loosen it. This design ensures easy maintenance and hassle-free removal when damaged.

Clip pedals
"Really nice pedals, low profile, tough platform but pretty light weight. I have been having problems clipping into these using the new One Up cleats and my Five Ten shoes. I’ve played with the tension adjustments but a few times i could not even unclip. Never had this problem before using Shimano. One Up staff have, of course, been superb with customer service and are making every effort to help. I’ll keep trying to work out the problem. Hopefully I don’t fall off a cliff or high skinny because I can’t unclip. Steve"
100% recommended!
"I’ve been rocking these pedals all summer. Aside from getting them bedded in the first time you use them (just clip and unclip repeatedly with each side of the SPD). These pedals have been flawless and moved to my new favorite clipless pedal that I run across my bikes. Admittedly I even had a gnarly crash recently on my bike where I was thrown down hard on the pedal and bent the axel. Oneup customer support sent me a new pair at no charge. The pedal performance already made me recommend these pedals, but the warranty sealed the deal and earned them a customer for life!"
Awesome!
"Love these pedals. I'd broken my older SPD pedals and was looking for new ones, preferably Canadian-made and these have turned out to be awesome. I got two pairs, one for my mountain bike, and one for road, and I really like that I could get them in colours that almost match my bikes. Very solid construction; love that they're double-sided (I'm lazy); clips hold really well; easy to clip in and out. Would definitely recommend and buy again."
Best shoe to pedal connection ever!
"These pedals hang onto my shoes much better than my XT pedals did, and I have the tension adjusted to light/easy. These should last the life of my new Trek Fuel+, would buy again."
Superb pedal, fantastic design
"Fantastic product but has limitations for riders with bad ankles/knees due to the great higher tension springs. I want to use a stock spd cleat without the spacer so I can ride all my other bikes with Shimano pedals and still have some pedal/shoe interface(can't afford to switch them all;-) I was forced to remove the pins completely with my Sidi mtb shoes as I could not clip in otherwise which was a bit of a bummer as I like the combo in theory. Would be nice if the pins didn't bottom out in the higher position but could be lowered as much as desired to give some benifit & allow clip in with a shoe that has lug soles. I haven't tried using the spacer, so to be fair maybe my other Shimano pedals would feel fine with the additional cleat spacer. Older me gives a 4 due to lack of flexibility with other systems as I would need to spacer to enjoy the pins on this pedal due to lack of pin adjustment? Younger me would give these a 5 star for the higher tension abilities and superb overall design."
They are good pedals, Easy
"They are good pedals, Easy enough to swap out the spikes when it’s time since the Allen fits on the back side not the side that is mashed down"
Great pedals great support!
"Love these pedals. Very secure feeling quality construction. went from flats and these are the best of both worlds."
Flattish clips
"So far so good! Classic OneUp part. Does the job more than adequately for a reasonable price!"
Super Cool!
"they are great - match my bike perfectly and work as expected. would definitely buy them again. :-)"
Q&A
- Hi guys, my clip pedals lost one of the plates today. It’s the front one that I lost, if that makes sense, where the toe of the cleat connects. Any chance you have spares of those, plus the two torx bolts that hold it in? I’m in Squamish so if I can swing by and grab replacement parts let me know. Cheers!
- Hi Murray, Thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear about those binding plates! Can you please send me this info on your pedals: Receipt with purchase date. Shipping address with phone number. 4-digit date code, located next to the clip mechanism on the pedal body. (Date Code Guide) Following this, I can get some spare parts packed up for you, and you'll be able to pick them up from our warehosue.
- Just purchased OneUp Clip Pedals ... one side seems to really stick when unclipping, even with 40% of ankle turn right side, when the left pops right out. I tired turn the tension adjustments all the way, and putting the spacers on my shoes, either seems to impact the challenge with unclipping, the clip in is great.
- Hey there Derek, Thanks for reaching out. I've copied all our troubleshooting steps down below. Could you please work through them and see if they get things working for you? If this issue has worsened over time, check for any evidence of impacts or interference from dirt or grit. Using a wire brush, clean beneath parts 6 & 7 from this page, and also your cleats, to be sure there is no metal swarf build up. Check that the cleat washer is the right way around so the bolts are flush & tight (see step 4 of the Cleat Install Instructions). Check that the spring tension is backed off to the second last click (be careful not to fully unscrew the tension screw) Add a drop of chain lube to the spring. Check if a cleat spacer is needed and if any parts of the shoe are interfering with the clipping process. Move the cleat 5mm towards the front of the shoe. Check the binding support plate (part 8 in the exploded view) is flat and tight to the pedal body. This is a T10 Torx key, torqued to 1.5-1.8Nm If you continue to have trouble releasing, try removing the front pins (on both sides of the pedal) The last thing to do is try a different shoe. Try without the cleat spacer first and add one if necessary for clearance. If the issue goes away with the shoe then it could be an incompatible shoe - If so, we would like to know the shoe make and model.
- Are they usable without cleats (flat shoes like five-tens) ?
- Hi Francois, Thanks for your message, I'm happy to help. We don't recommend using the clip pedals with flat shoes for mountain bike riding. For short rides on road, they are fine, but not for actual mountain bike rides. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. Cheers,
- Hi, We have a customer who is interested in using the Clip (platform) pedals with Shimano's CL-MT001 multi-entry, single-release cleat. What has been your experience and rider feedback for people using this combo? Thanks, looking forward to hearing back from you.
- Hey Eric, those cleats will be compatible with our pedals! Thanks for checking
- Hey, I bought the pedals last july. By august I noticed there was some play on my left pedal. The metal plate isn’t holding the coil anymore. I wrote you a message in september and never got a reply. Is there anything I could do to fix the pedal? I cannot use it as it is now.
- Hey Adam, thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear you are having troubles with our pedals, and also that you didn't hear back from us. Could you please send me this information on your pedals?
