I have used the one-up, pnw and deity deftrap, of the three I liked the deftrap the best until I bought the spank oozy reboot cnc pedal. At first I thought I made a mistake since the Spank pedals have a smaller platform and larger diameter, less grippy pins, but then I realized I could make micro adjustments as soon as I put my foot on the pedal and during my ride. This was a game changer for me since with my previous pedals if I was dropping in and had my foot slightly off, i couldn't move it since those smaller pins are like glue. I find that the little bump at the axle is also nice because I know right where my foot is by feel if it's hitting that bump. I always thought I wanted max grip from my pedals but now that I have been riding pedals with less grip (still more than enough to keep my feet on the pedals no matter the condition) I really love it. just my .02
PNW has an amazing customer service... 🙌 Fast, friendy, lots of communication and standing behind thier "lifetime warranty". ONE UP has nice clean designs and great quality... Love both brands.
I had OneUp for two years ,and had no problems with them. I sold them together with my old bike. However, they were not concave, so now I use E13 base, which have better grip. For my second bike, I'm considering Deity Deftrap.
I switch between those OneUp composites and a set of XT SPD depending on where I'm riding. I only recently switched to flats and had originally purchased a set of Stamp 1s. The OneUp out of the box are better than the Stamp 1, although I used longer pins on the Stamp 1 which improved them a bit. I moved the Stamps to my commuter and put the OneUP on my Optic. The PNW look nice as well, I think you pretty much nailed it with how similar all of the composites are and for the most part it comes down to things like price, warranty and the company.
Great vid once again thank you!! I had chesters they were alright but looked beat up in no time at all then went to the atlas's and I like them alot but they were pricey.
One up is just super awesome. I bought them for 35 euro here in Germany and this is far better then Stamp 1 that I had before even with longer diy pins. I wish it has a slightly bigger platform as Stamp 7 does, but other than that - I don't have to spend more money.
I absolutely love the Deity Deftrap pedals. They're huge and have a square shape to them which is perfect for my feet but also aren't too expensive and (in my opinion) are better than all the alu pedals I've used (DMR, Hope, OneUp and a couple of others)
I now use PNW range composite pedals have been for a few years now I use to run raceface cheaster. on my mountain bikes that is I run SPD for my gravel bike
I've used multiple types of flat pedals over the years. Never been fully happy w/ past composite varieties. Have gone to some Stamp, Large, flats & they're super grippy and feel great. They were a little pricier than other flats I've tried in the past (did manage to find them on sale though). Maybe the old adage, 'You get what you pay for' applies :YMMV: NB, Stamp are also metal 😉
I rode the Chester’s and not much grip! I looked around for flat pedals and I looked at the TENET and chromag dagga. I have them both and they are durable. If you spend $60.00 every six months, no brainer go with a metal that will last you 2+ years ($175 as supposed to $240 for two years). 😅
5:02 Longer pins make a big difference in snow, as wet snow packs on the pedals, so having pins that poke trough is important. but tiny bit won't make much difference, but if twice the length of short pins then it makes a difference. I tried shortest pins on Catalyst pedals, it was hopeless in snow. Long pins were problem free.
I rode raceface chesters for years. Usually they would last like 6 months before some clicking or bearing issue that was annoying would come up and I'd just deal with it. Then 2 years ago I got the PNW and they are better than the chesters IMO.. no bearing issues after 2 years and the platform is big so your feet feel planted and the pins are great. Last year around this time I got a Stumpy on sale and put Raceface Atlas pedals on it. I got better at riding more gnarly trails and after a year, those atlas pedals look like they went through a metal grinder from thousands of pedal strikes. They both still spin freely, but the left one makes a slight scraping noise, so might need to do the bearings on that one. In the end, I'd say it's worth the price for the atlas pedals. I can't even believe what they stood up to on rocky tech trails after years of killing chesters on flow trails lol
Recently got the OneUp composite pedals for fat biking and they are great. The two pins by the axle are key which most other pedals lack. The only bummer is that the bearing seal is very draggy.
I’m on the fence for which brand I like the most. One up pedal were great no problems ever, I really liked the feel of the PNW but the bearings went very quick- they can be rebuilt though. But I never had any problems with the one up.
Running Crankbrothers Stamp 7. They just in a middle between One Up comp and alloy regarding pricing (here in Europe). Stamp 7 preatty balanced for me. Previous was on Shimano XT flats. They were too sticky.
got the PNW Range Fruitsnack on my Ragley Marley, Burgtec MK4 on my Trek Remedy, Nukeproof Horizon composite on my NS Bikes Clash and finally Race Face Chester on my Trek Elite 8.9😂
Hi im trying to figure out what is the length and whats the width of these one up it just has 115x105 nothing says what the size is you would expect to see (W) and (L)
No matter which pedals people review. they will be not be for me, as they are too small. From a technical point there are good pedals out there. I use Pedaling Innovations Catalyst pedals, they have a logner platform. Price is not too bad especially on sale.
