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

[@vic8033]

Another vote for the Deity Deftraps. Large platform, low profile and good grip.

[@COOLBIKEyt]

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.

[@reneh.6551]

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.

[@John_D2]

I've been riding one up composites for a couple of years, no problems.

[@barfo281]

I use Kona Wah Wah II, and the lady uses Deity Deftraps on her bike.

[@glennmorgan8691]

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.

[@LoveMTB]

Thanks Glenn! Surprised how little snow is on Calgary!😉

[@dimimtb]

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.

[@stepan.furman]

I have pretty much the same story

[@ilidiofaria]

I love my OneUP composite ❤

[@mtbboy1993]

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.

[@heywood165]

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)

[@TheSpade83]

I like the back sweep on the pnw for those endurance runs

[@LoveMTB]

Agree can be more comfortable overall

[@ToddGlasier]

What's a back sweep??

[@kingrat738]

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 😉

[@malitze]

I use the OneUp composite pedals on all three bikes, for me they are the best I have ever used and also very affordable.

[@Jacob99174]

EVER!?

[@wallyedmonds8199]

Love my oneup peddles

[@LoveMTB]

Yeah they seem to be popular

[@glen3509]

I've been using 6061 aluminum pedals with cromoly axles Kona flat pedals since 2010🤘🤘

[@stepan.furman]

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.

[@juanhidalgo7043]

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). 😅

[@ilgour]

This season i will try the raceface atlas and kids will use raceface chester.

[@wildman9364]

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

[@jrludwig1]

How do you think the PNW Range pedals compare to the Chesters?

[@wildman9364]

I like them better I switched over the the PNW Range now and not using chesters any more@@jrludwig1

[@sprungmass]

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.

[@LoveMTB]

I agree with those extra pins. And in my experience you won’t feel that drag and it gets a bit better once they’re broken in

[@theydisintegrate]

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

[@wyric]

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.

[@LoveMTB]

Too sticky?

[@Rawkus919]

Rockbros for me.

[@silver_c1oud]

I miss my Raceface Chester Pedal

[@blakesmith9844]

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.

[@LoveMTB]

Lifetime warranty on the PNW!?

[@junesebastian392]

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😂

[@LoveMTB]

Quite the collection

[@josereneducharme142]

Kona with winter boots

[@alessandrouk2]

Very simple. Buy others Locking nuts for this pins. They won't bend. I did it on my pedals, it's really worth it.

[@tonyb2760]

The Tor sure looks suspiciously like the Raceface Chester which is what i formerly ran until I went fully clipless.

[@LoveMTB]

I agree with you probably generic design

[@EMTBAFV]

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)

[@LoveMTB]

ok and it's not in the video?

[@theshadow8008]

Tor!

[@mtbboy1993]

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.

[@jonathanwilliams5976]

Would still love for you to make a video comparing my modded 2019 fluid vs new one.

[@GokkunGuru]

PNW hands down better looking. TOR very generic. OneUp good too.

[@mtbboy1993]

1:08 Tor(Thor)? But where is Odin? 😝Of course Tor the Nordic name is not pronounced like that.
