The OneUp Component EDC Tool is designed for the rider that likes to carry their trailside repair kit as efficiently as possible. A ride carry solution, its built around a compact tool for trailside repairs, with a clever integration with multiple options in carrying it on the bike makes a versatile investment in your ride […]
OneUp Components EDC Stem System
OneUp Components released an EDC tool system last year that allows the rider to store essential trailside tools using the space in the steerer of the bike. Residing where the star-fangled nut usually lives, in order to get the headset adjusted, they created a proprietary top cap that threads directly into the steerer. (they also […]
OneUp Components Dropper Post
I’ve been a fan of OneUp Components since the inception of the company. With the launch of their new dropper post, they’ve once again produced what looks to be a stand out product in a quickly growing category: dropper posts. In fact, of all the new products we found wandering the expo at the Sea […]
Review: OneUp Components Chain Guide
Weighing in a at only 35 grams, the Oneup Components chain guide is light weight insurance against chain derailment. It’s also inexpensive at $45. But do we actually need chain guides anymore? Contemporary mountain bike drivetrains work so well that many trail riders forgo a chain retention device, despite the lack of a front derailleur. […]
Review: OneUp Components 47T + 18T Sprocket for Shimano 11 Speed
We’ve been happily running Shimano’s XT 1×11 drive train for sometime. We’ve also spent time trying the SRAM alternative; although the range doesn’t match SRAM Eagle, we’ve gotten along with a 42t low, and the 46t when it became available. When OneUp Components sent over their 47T sprocket and 18T, I was looking forward to […]
OneUp Components EDC Tool
We love riding without packs, and are constantly on the lookout for new ways to carry gear, so when OneUp Components started teasing their new steer tube mounted mini tool, we’ve been intrigued. The aptly titled EDC tool (AKA everyday carry) is housed inside the steerer, and consists of a folding multi-tool with a chainbreaker, […]
Review: OneUp Components Traction Chainring
The concept of the non-round chainring and promises of increased power and efficiency has surfaced repeatedly over the years only to disappear — this time they may be here to stay. Though initially perceiving them as a gimmick, since bolting one on, my tune has changed. I’ve been riding with the Oval Traction Chainring from OneUp Components for months […]
OneUp Components Wide Range Conversion Options for Shimano 11 Speed Drivetrains
OneUp Components is small outfit based out of Squamish BC that’s become known for creating products we wish other companies had made. Case in point: Expanded rang one-by drivetrains. We’ve had a lot of success with their wide range conversion for 10 speed drivetrains as detailed in this post. This year we’ve begrudgingly moved on to 11 speed drive trains but they […]
OneUp Components Traction Ring
Is your next narrow-wide chainring going to be oval? Wait, didn’t we already try this years ago with Shimano’s Bio-Pace? It seems these weirdly shaped chain ring designs won’t go away. However, the team at OneUp have a new reason for squishing up our traditionally round rings, and no, it’s not power output. (the reason […]
OneUp Components RadR Cage
OneUp Components and their inexpensive 1×10 Wide Range Conversion system has been one of our favorite upgrades to trail bikes. Although we’ve been running one-by drive trains off and on for years, the products from OneUp allow us to embark on trail rides that we might not have in the past, thanks to the ability […]
Review: OneUp Components 40T Sprocket
After 8 months with the OneUp Component 40 tooth sprocket, it’s still going strong. The rest of my drive train, not so much. Wear and tear has taken its toll and its time to replace worn out parts. On the bright side, it’s going to cost a lot less than it would if I was […]
XX1 Alternative: Shimano 1×10 Wide Range Conversion featuring the OneUp Components 42t
SRAM’s XX1 has propelled the 1x drivetrain into the mainstream for trail riders with its wide range of gears and simplicity. Removing the front derailleur and shifter not only makes space on your bars, but can drop almost a pound of weight off your bike. The best part of dropping the front derailleur though, is […]
