Review: OneUp Components EDC Tool and Pump

[@JoeC92]

Given One Up seems to focus mostly on MTB, being good up to 35psi is more than sufficient, and the added CO2 great for tubeless set ups

[@LoranBriggs]

I just had one of these pumps saved me on the trail yesterday. My Portland Design Works Ninja pump was not getting the job done and a rider came upon me and loaned me his OneUp EDC Pump and it worked like a charm. I personal think the price is justified when you consider how much it costs to add an additional bag to carry separate tools. It basically frees up the space your existing multi-tool takes up. And you can swap between bikes much easier if everything is inside a single piece. The pump itself is one of the best mini pumps I've ever used given you are okay with presta valve only. I ordered one today after being saved by the pump yesterday.

[@RiddleKingOnline]

Tips 1: Basically sit the quick-link figure 8 flat on the tool between the two spurs. It should look like this ---> {8 Then you have to hold it there really tightly with all your grip strength while levering the 6mm allen key against the bottom of the figure 8, it should like this ---> {8/ It is very hard but I got it to work 4 or 5 times so I'm confident to do it on the trail. Tip 2: Remember to remove the C02 valve head with an allen key as it screws in really tight. Tip 3: I have really tight tire beads so I have to use the multi tool AND the the tire lever to get my tires off the rim. Tip 4: The multi tool only loads back in one-way or it wont fit back inside the pump. Tip 5: Test the chain breaker at home, mine works fine both in and out but it took some getting used to. Tip 6: If you get the small 70cc pump like me, use the large storage canister but cut the bottom off so it fits in the small pump. The skinny short canister is useless and fits nothing but I got glue/2x large rubber patches/4x quick tyre patches and sandpaper in the modified large one. Play around with all the tools properly at home and you'll love this all-in-one tool like I do. The pump is awesome (presta only) with its large volume and it didn't leak noticeably for me. I run tubes and this pumped a 27.5 x 2.5 up to 21psi in 100 strokes i.e less than a minute.

Best quick link removal tool I have used beside dedicated quick link pliers is a simple shoe string. Thread through the holes outside the quick link pull opposite across the link and bam! Link unlocked.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

I tried the shoe string trick while filming this video. I found it worked on one set of power links but not another. That's going to be a sep. video.

[@RideAlongside]

Johannes Nilsen I have tried it on brand new and well worn sram chains and kmc chains and it has worked for me. Haven't tried it on sram eagle yet however.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

I tried it on SRAM 11spd and it worked well, but could not do it with a Shimano 10spd road. I think the plier works for all and a shoe string works for most.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

Tried it on a Shimano 10spd road with little wear and couldn't get it open.

[@RideAlongside]

What brand of quick link was holding the Shimano 10spd road chain together? KMC? SRAM? I know Shimano doesn't make their own quick links, so maybe you found a special mix/matched combo that has ultimate holding power! :) Always enjoy your videos Russ. PLP is one of my favorite channels by far. #BikeNerdsUnite -Nick

[@tinywrinkle]

You need to move the quick link tool one link left. In the video you're just pushing against the right side of the quick link and pushing it tighter. Look at the way the link needs to be pushed for it to unhook. Opposite direction you push to install. Great review though thanks for the vid.

[@matthewmahoney6529]

I think the quick link goes inside the links to squeeze the pins togather rather than on the outside . I think u use them as a player basically

[@fcom9457]

Thanks for your video. Regarding the quick link tool. ..I’ve had success using a short section of shoe lace . -thread through the quick link -put a knot in the open end -use one of the Allen keys of your multi tool to twist the shoe lace-similar to a simple tourniquet. Practice the method before trail use. Cheers.

[@Br3ndo1891]

@@williamdavis9471 I think the point would be that alot of the time people are using a pump track side would be to pump up a inner tube they've put in after slashing a tire.

[@jackfeder8484]

roadies, that's all

[@morgantaylor4509]

After watching you struggle with the quick link tool I had to give it a try. And the only thing that accomplished was getting my hands super greased up. For reference I tried on a near-new SRAM PC-1110. At home I recently bought a pair of Park master link pliers, and I do not know why I waited. It's so nice being able to pop them apart easily and without having to touch the chain with your hands.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

Yeah. Not as easy as it looks. Don’t know if you saw our vid on the Clever Tire levers that turn into a plier. That makes a great travel option.

[@frozerekmeyata4091]

I was hoping the pump would get to road tire pressure for my touring bike, 40 to 45 psi is not adequate so I guess I won't be getting this tool, too bad because it really seems like a great idea.

[@durenpaul]

Hey, good review except yeah you're doing the chain breaker function incorrectly. The way you have the tool oriented to the quick link is trying to force it closed, not open. If you look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3-Wqol7l72GjqM you can see that you need to have the quick link turned 180 degrees relative to the tool. (The slotted link hole should be on the LEFT if it's facing you, not the right. Or just flip the tool around.) I like your videos a lot but you might want to edit this one. The mistake you're making would be very easy for others to make as well.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

Noted. I think however a tool that complicated to figure out that you need a youtube video to use it is bad design.

[@tomchanin7602]

Kinda douchie that Path Less Traveled threw this under the bus because he can't follow instructions. Maybe he should update the video.

[@LeoVasquez]

@@PathLessPedaledTV What a hypocrite, you made a video on the EDC pump and tool but slam by saying a youtube video to use a tool feature on your video that couldn't figure out is bad design? WTH? Thumbs down for this one bud.

[@ericpmoss]

@@LeoVasquez Don't overreact like a fanboi. He said multiple times that maybe he wasn't using it right, and he invited pointers from viewers. Moreover, he did NOT throw it under the bus for that. He said he liked it a lot in general.

[@SamSquanch66]

@@PathLessPedaledTV Alright, I gotta say it's obvious in your video you are trying to force the links closed not open. Not to mention it's actually a pretty brilliant design considering it eliminates needing to carry a special plyer for unexpected in-the-field repairs AND allows for a complete all in one tool kit that can FIT INSIDE! the pump or steerer tube.

[@bwest6275]

I wish one up had a video on how to use the pump with a C02 cartridge. I guess you unscrew the green pump head and this somehow threads on to a C02 cartridge to pump up a tire? Does it have an on/off switch? 🤷‍♂️

[@skibikeride2000]

You likely thread it onto the presta valve then thread the cartridge onto the adapter. There is no on off switch. The co2 discharges entirely and you can let air out afterwards

[@turbo1921]

My understanding from the website is you thread the co2 all the way in for off

[@MeNtAlmil]

Hey Russ I just watched this video again, check out the new Topeak Mini PT30, has a built in quicklink breaker and only weighs in at 169g! Looks like a solid tool to buy/carry.

[@GhettoSuguru]

They should make an edc torch that can be installed in your stem

[@mrcarlincool]

I'm having a hard time actually getting the co2 off my pump to work

[@HannesSchmiderer]

Maybe your link is installed in the wrong direction. It should work on your chain if you use the tool from the top on the lower chain or from the bottom on the upper chain.

[@Urquie87]

The chain link splitter is very easy to use, you just have to use it in the correct way. As for leverage it provides plenty, if you need a lot of leverage to open a quick link then you've got problems with the link or tool

[@bikesbeer2005]

was hoping to see the 100cc pump co2 inflate

[@nickstone7834]

yet to see a video on the presta valve core remove function..

[@aledpoole246]

you had the quick link round the wrong way in the video. you were putting pressure on the link trying to close it instead of open it. 180 the link or tool and try again.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

I was doing it exactly as the official video suggests. It looks like I’m closing it but that is how it is suppose to work. The tool pushes the outer plates together to loosen.

[@thomasodonnell8519]

@@PathLessPedaledTV Your link is connected opposite of the one in the OneUp video. You're pulling the link tighter in this video.

[@TheMoinmoin2]

it works pretty well but it is important in which direction the quick link is pointing just look at the video from oneup again i tried it my self in one direction it is no problem in the other direction it is impossible

[@griffinvu8752]

the highest psi will run is 35 because of tubes but no higher

[@Gary_G]

Any one else have issue with the cap? Taking it off and putting it on?

[@ericpmoss]

Some day, thru-axles might be big enough to store all the wheel tools in one axle and two CO2 cartridges in the other. Not sure if I'm joking or not...

Yes. Ships with a pump bracket.

[@ethanwilson7998]

What is the difference in the 100cc and the 70cc

[@bobobobobobo4597]

Late answer but hope it helps someone. With 100cc you can fill the tire faster and you get a bigger tool chamber to fit both multitool and co2 cartridge. 70cc is lighter. Takes more pumps to fill the tire and you only enough space for co2 or multitool.

[@brianvu648]

What adapter item would I need to make this pump work on a schrader valve tube?

Not sure. It’s a bummer it’s presto only.

CO2 screws into the bottom of the tool in place of the cache.

@@Frank_Denver the CO2 inflater is included. The head of pump literally can be pulled out of pump to be used with the CO2 cartridge.

[@kennethstreet7868]

Terrible pump for road, borrowed one on a ride. Head wouldn't hold the valve stem well enough to get 60psi in a 700x30. Better for high volume.

[@griffinvu8752]

bru what i run 30 psi at the highest

[@Rekmeyata]

Well, while it is a interesting designed pump, the failure or difficulty to go above 35 psi is a deal breaker for me. I was going to consider this for my touring bike but I need a pump to go to 75 psi for my 700 X 38 tires. I can't see why Oneup couldn't have designed the pump for more PSI capability, kind of short sighted on their part.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

75 psi on a 38mm tire is really hard. You should watch our video on tire pressure. The sidewall number has nothing to do with how much air you should put in your tire.

[@vongdong10]

You must be running tubes to be using pressure that high. You gotta remember, oneup is a company mainly specialising in MTB so the pump design makes sense.

[@dirtsloth]

75psi is WAY too much for 700x38. hope your wrists survived

[@Rekmeyata]

@@dirtsloth I

[@Rekmeyata]

@@dirtsloth Incorrect. Tire psi depends on the weight the tires will carry, as it does with car tires who the manufacture of the car has the psi on the door, that is calculated based on the cars weight. Now back to my situation, I use 75 psi when I go bicycle touring, the bike weighs 44 pounds including the weight of 5 full and large 41 ounce water bottles and the pannier racks front and rear; I weigh 185 clothed, and the gear I carry is about 65 pounds which includes the weight of the pannier bags, that's 338 pounds of weight on the tires. So due to the fact that most of my weight is on the back tire the psi recommended based on several online psi calculators is right around 75 psi plus or minus a couple, the front is lower at around 60 due to less weight on the front tire. There is room to move on that psi depending on how the bike feels while riding, but in my case, since what I use has already been tested by me, that is the psi I use. Also, due to the weight, and depending on the type of carcass used in the tire a loaded bike like mine could shimmy if the psi is too low, my previous tires which were 45mm tires needed 78 psi to prevent the shimmying, my newer tires are not as affected unless I drop below the idea psi. Even with narrower road tires one manufacturer may recommend a higher psi over another vs what a tire calculator will tell you, this is due to sidewall construction. You need to understand the weight being carried, the size of tires, and tire manufacturer recommendations as to how much psi to use. I forgot to mention, like car tires, if you are under or over-inflated it will wear out the tires faster, your braking performance will be decreased, and handling will suffer, all of which you don't want with a loaded touring bike. Also, even on a road bike with narrower tires, it is possible with a larger person that their weight could exceed the max recommended tire psi on the tire itself, that means that person needs a wider tire so that it can handle more weight and be inside the max psi as stated on the sidewall. Again if you think about cars, tire manufacturers will have a max listed psi of say 44 on the tire, but the car will say only to use 32, again, it's about the weight of the car pressing down on the tire, using 44 would be dangerous in regards to handling, braking, traction, and wear out the tires down the center very quickly.

[@86309]

use a shoe lace to unlock the quick link, dont need a tool.
