PRESS RELEASE: OneUp Components

OneUp Components 34.9 Dia. 210mm Dropper Post Narrow Wide Switch Chainrings for Shimano 12 Speed. Axle-R 12mm Rear Axles


34.9 DIA. DROPPER POSTS - 12 SPEED SWITCH RINGS - REAR AXLES


OneUp Components Axle-R Rear Axle


AXLE-R
Lighter, stronger and better looking than your stock rear axle. Available in 6 colours. From $39 USD

If you’re like us, you already carry a multi-tool on every ride, so there’s no need to have an integrated handle on your axle. Our low-profile head looks cleaner, has nothing to snag on the trail and saves weight.

Instead of the hollow design of most axles we’ve gone for solid 7075-T6 aluminium for maximum strength and reliability. Available for all major 12mm axle standards except Syntace X-12. The modular design makes it easy for local bike shops to have an axle on hand in a range of colours for almost every rider.

Complete the set with Axle F, the OneUp 15mm front axle.



OneUp Components Axle-R Rear Axle


34.9MM DROPPER POSTS
Even lower stack height posts now available in 34.9mm Dia. x 120mm,150mm,180mm and 210mm drop, with up to 20mm of travel adjustment. From $199 USD.


OneUp Components 34.9 Dia. 210mm Dropper Post
This is a 210mm drop post, fully slammed in a 2020 Norco Sight


With the lowest stack height and the shortest total length of any dropper post of the same travel, the OneUp V2 post is the longest drop post that will fit you and your bike.

Most riders get at least 20mm extra travel when they upgrade to a OneUp post.
Use our DROPPER POST LENGTH SELECTOR TOOL to find out how much drop you can get.



OneUp Components Switch 12 Speed Narrow Wide Chainring for Shimano


12 SPEED SHIMANO SWITCH CHAINRINGS
Available in round and oval. From $63 USD.

Switch is a 2 piece direct mount chainring system that lets you replace your worn out chainring in less than a minute, without removing your cranks. Replacement rings are much cheaper as you only need to replace the teeth not the entire chainring. It's also really quick and easy to change your ring size or try a different ring shape.

We love oval rings for the riding that we do here in Squamish. If you’re interested in trying one out,
use the discount code TEST-RIDE-OVAL to get an oval Switch ring for only $20 USD
when you buy any round Switch ring and carrier at oneupcomponents.com. Valid until the 30th of April 2020.

Switch rings are also available for SRAM and Race Face direct mount cranks.



New Axles, Rings and Droppers are all in stock and available now.

 Oh man, now I need a new bike with a 34.9mm seat tube. Thats insanely low 'stack height'. Barely (if any) higher than a standard post. Well done one up, putting the big boys to shame.
  • 110
 You can get the dropper post for 30.9, 31.6 and 34.9mm diameter seat tubes.
  • 132
 How many bikes have a 34.9mm seat tube? I didn't even know that was a thing. Whoops.
  • 32
 @yupstate: apparently 35.1 is a thing too!
  • 50
 @TheSwissRider: you can. But I'm pretty sure it says the 34.9mm has the lowest stack height. And the bike in the picture with it fitted has a 34.9mm seat tube.
  • 40
 @inked-up-metalhead: Yup, the seal head OD is 34.9 for the most part, so they're able to hide it inside the tube on this larger version to get a lower stack height. From what I can tell, the stantion is the same diameter as the narrower posts.
  • 70
 @yupstate: most of the specialized range, the last few iterations of enduros have had a 34.9 seat post
  • 20
 @yupstate: My GT sensor X is 34.9 for some reason. The RS Reverb was the only option (w/o using shims) for me for a while, its pretty sick to see more options. especially dope that it can be SLAMMED!
  • 20
 @yupstate: Pyga's new Aluminium Slakline and Hyrax models use 34.9mm. I've been using it and its as great as the 31.6 oneup that I have in my Knolly Smile
  • 70
 @yupstate: Gonna be more common as seat tubes get shorter/steeper and dropper posts get longer. Companies like Norco are spec'ing 200mm posts on their bikes, and larger 34.9mm diameter posts handle the shear loads better.
  • 30
 @dkidd: If they're scaled up. Most just use the same stanchion regardless of size. BikeYoke 34.9 MAX is the only optimized post I've seen.
  • 20
 @yupstate: My Honzo AL did.
  • 10
 My 2020 Specialized Enduro uses 34.9mm (I believe previous model years did too). There weren't many options available in this diameter, so I went with this OneUp. I'm honestly very pleased with it. Can't offer a particularly long term review yet, but I would put it on par with the BikeYoke Revive on my other bike, and a mile ahead of the KS Lev Integra on my old bike.
  • 10
 @inveloveritas: that's what I thought, there's literally naff all of it on show, definitely a massive improvement over the usual 40mm of lost space because of the seal head.
  • 10
 2020 Norco Sight’s and Optic’s are all 34.9mm. Even with their stock Tranz-X droppers, you can tell the larger diameter goes well with longer travel posts. I’ve got a 31.6mm One Up with 210mm travel and it’s great but a stiffer/more girthy shaft would no doubt perform better (that’s what she said etc).
  • 10
 @inveloveritas: this is my question. So stupid that isn’t not bigger, especially in these huge lengths.
  • 10
 I still buy the 30.9 versions for my 31.8 seat tubes for greater versatility.
  • 11
 I wonder how long it will be until SRAM releases a 34.99mm Reverb MAX or even a 40mm Totem Pole
  • 50
 @jclnv: Right. I believe, currently our REVIVE MAx is the only one which has a 34.9 specific design. Most other posts which are available in 34.9 lack the bigger upper tube, which - in my opinion - is the main reason to go for 34.9 in the first place.
  • 30
 @Sacki: I agree. I have tried my friend's fat Bikeyoke post and it was beyond smooth.
  • 10
 I can tell you that most riders do not get that tweaked on a bike and need a post that low. Also along with 29 wheels getting too low is not gonna feel good. looks like a point where muck will build up more at the wiper seal location when the post is fully dropped. It will begin to force debris into the wiper lip because the tolerance is very tight. Unscrewing the wiper will be less desirable, because it may require the post to be pulled out for simple cleaning and regressing, as OneUp post need frequently. Looks cool though!
  • 10
 @likeittacky: I just want the seat to be gone when I drop it to be honest. It's always getting in the way of my thighs when I hit jumps, and I only have one bike which I use for everything.
If I could choose, it would be able to go right down to the collar like on a DJ bike.
  • 380
 I love OneUp!
  • 70
 Been running their multi tool, pedals, and stem on my DH rig for a while now!
  • 132
 I love OneUp too. My favorite company of all I think. Each single bit I have from them works and brings smile to my face. The pump, the pedals, chainring. Sweet!
  • 60
 @WAKIdesigns: I know, and if you have a matte, (or sometimes gloss) black frame and components, oneup will add quite the finishing touch. The quality is good too!
  • 131
 @JacobyDH: When I get my ass to squamish I hope I can ride with them and I’ll buy them beers for being awesome.
  • 221
 @WAKIdesigns: Looking forward to it!
  • 23
 @WAKIdesigns: yeah, send me the number of one of the guys you find at Squamish, so I can ask him for free stuff!
  • 42
 @OneUpComponents - all the most sincere troll love Salute

@JacobyDH: I don’t have any contacts there Smile I got their pedals via “contest” on NSMB and they were kind enough to send me the EDC tool as well. I bought their pump and chainring after that right away. Will gladly buy their dropper in the future, just like their chainrings. I just hope Covidorona won’t impact them too much.
  • 40
 @WAKIdesigns: Yeah, I’ll follow in your lead: OneUp, we salute you for your products! Salute
  • 50
 @OneUpComponents: I think it says something about your brand that you guys are looking at the comment section!
  • 20
 Me too! I bought a RADr cage for my 2x10 drivetrain back in the day and everything I’ve bought since has been spot on—and their service is killer.

One note on the Axle—there’s a company called the Robert Axle Project that makes awesome axles, but also sells something called Hexlox security keys. They are little magnetized bits that fit in your Allen key hole and can only be removed by a small magnet key. INCREDIBLE—you can also key different ones together to the same lock! I’ve got both my wheels locked, and will probably get my dropper and topcap locked this year—all the quick and easy take-apart bits. Could not more highly recommend that system. Cheers.
  • 10
 @shortcuttomoncton: okay, I’ll check them out! I have to agree with you about the service. In general it’s a well crafted company, with cool, and quality products. I have no complaints (other than the pricing). OneUp, if you hear this, don’t change a thing!
  • 30
 @shortcuttomoncton:
You can get your hexlox directly from the Hexlox company in Germany as well.

hexlox.com/collections/black-hexlox
  • 10
 I replaced my Bontrager 125 post with a oneup 180 (with the two sets of shims installed) so I think it’s 160ish. With a wolf tooth lever, so sweet!
  • 10
 @eldsvada: Yup--I'm pretty sure later hexlox purchases can be keyed to the same code, so I'll probably have to go through them. But it was great to just get them with the axles.
  • 290
 If I get an Axle F, will it play the Beverly Hills Cop theme song while I ride around?
  • 10
 Good one.
  • 30
 Just don't get the green one. Everytime you hit a bump it says "DING DING THIS IS THE CRAZY FROG!"
  • 271
 Cool stuff - check Good price - check Stuff works - check OneUp crew is killing it.
  • 42
 Yeah, they are, and their products are amazing, but pricing... that’s not a check!
  • 70
 @JacobyDH: Their droppers are pretty darn affordable...
  • 30
 @dglass: oh, I didn’t know, but their EDC tool! It seems like it’s only 60 bucks, but it ends up being like 160, because of the tap kit, and top cap. By that point you might as well be buying a multi tool, and a gear strap, or just carrying a multi tool. I do it anyway though.
  • 20
 @JacobyDH: Fair enough. I just put my heavy ass multi tool from MEC in my pocket.
  • 10
 @dglass: don’t get me wrong, I don’t regret buying it, and it’s a wonderful product, but unless you want to spend a lot, just bring a multi tool.
  • 30
 @JacobyDH:

Check your local bike shop, we carry Oneup and we bought a tap for the shop so our customers don’t have to.
  • 20
 @Maverick18T: yeah, mine doesn’t, I guess I should move to Canada!
  • 22
 Yeah, they say "Replacement rings are much cheaper as you only need to replace the teeth not the entire chainring" but there's no way i am paying $63US for a chainring. @OneUpComponents can you please change that to NOT cheaper?
  • 20
 @freeriderayward: that's the price with the spider. The replacement rings are $40
  • 20
 @JacobyDH:

Well man that’s up to you, you’ll get paid the same salary up here.. probably less actually, and it’s in CAD not USD.. so everything’s gonna cost you roughly double what you’re use to.

Maybe you should just buy a tap.
  • 10
 @Maverick18T: I bought one already, and now I let my friends use it, but maybe I should donate it to my LBS?
  • 20
 @JacobyDH:

Nah f*ck that, start your own LBS.
  • 20
 @Maverick18T: I wish... wait, maybe... who here would be willing to move to California, and get paid a fortune to run a shop with me?
  • 211
 Hmm... attaching a chainring to a 4 spoke hub that is part of the drive side crank arm.. allows you to change the chainring without pulling off your cranks... means you only replace the actual ring and teeth and not the entire middle hub as well... Why weren't we doing this before?
#104bcd4life #26er4life
  • 70
 And also thank you OneUp for killing it once again. You guys always find a way to make using new mtb tech more practical and affordable for the consumer.
  • 83
 OneUp's quick change chainring concept is hilariously ironic. They've created a solution to a problem by imitating the previous system... but made it more complicated...with even more failure points and proprietary bling. I feel like the bike industry cooked up DM chainrings exclusively to allow for 28-30t chainrings. Those dinky chainrings only lasted a short while before mega-wide range cassettes took back over. So now we're left with a new DM chainring standard which is complicated by lockrings, plastic pinch bolts, shitty BB standards, and is more difficult to troubleshoot and shim your chainline. Then you throw this hilarious bastard of a product on top of it. Thanks, bike industry. I'll keep my chainring bolts.
  • 30
 @ebikesruinedmylife: not to mention failing Sram GXP bolts. I damaged one of them, because they are too soft, and not deep enough. Then I found this article by WolfTooth components:

www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/replacement-bolts-for-sram-direct-mount-chainrings

"It is easy to damage the shallow torx head when removing the 3 bolts that hold a Direct Mount Ring to SRAM cranks. These bolts are direct replacements, or spares, for those 3 bolts."

Yeah the original SRAM bolts are not deep enough.

I will keep my chainring bolts as well.

  • 10
 @banffowen: Its an interesting application for bikes. Motorcycles have been rocking these for +30 years. They're called a 'cush drive' and the goal is the same. I'd try it...if someone wants to loan me some DM cranks that I refuse to buy LOL
  • 22
 @zoobab2: Torx heads are a joke. A button head Torx is a joke of a joke. First they I do when I build a bike is replace as many of the Torx heads as I can.
  • 10
 @zoobab2: That’s great, I’ll get the Wolftooth bolts. As soon as I figure out a way to get the rest of the cheap original bolt out of there, without damaging my expensive carbon crank...
  • 10
 @FuzzyL: you could try some lapping paste, it’s a paste with grit in it for lapping in valves etc, get a medium grit one not fine, put some in the stripped head and try remove it with the torx driver, haven’t ever tried it on torx but works a treat on partially stripped hex drives. That or a left hand drill bit might work , they often bite in and just wind the stud right out, good luck rescuing your cranks !
  • 10
 @mrfish: I’m afraid that won’t work in this case, since the bolt is actually broken, only a very small surface to apply the paste to, and as far as I can tell these bolts have been secured with loctite by the factory, so I assume some torque will be needed to free it.
  • 10
 @ebikesruinedmylife: crush drive is more to save the transmission from driveline vibe and harmonic issues. Typically dirt bikes don't use cush drives, they're more typical on street bikes where you're likely to travel at a consistent rpm and create harmonic issues. Bikes with belt drives don't require them at all since the belt damps the harmonics.
So they aren't to prevent kickback.
  • 10
 @FuzzyL: oh that sucks. If it’s that tight your best option would be to find a good toolmaking engineering firm that can edm spark the broken piece out. Should still be well cheaper than replacing it. If you want to ship it to NZ ,I can sort it for ya :-)
  • 10
 @FuzzyL: try a reverse drill bit... Uses a left hand twist, if you find one that is roughly the same dia as the bolt minus the thread (2.5mm for a 3mm fastener) typically you can get the damaged fastener to back out on it's own under light drilling.
  • 120
 Great company. Awesome design and stellar customer service.
  • 70
 No handle to clip or unwind? So much yes. Colour coded too! These guys get it. Get on board everyone else. Make it strong, simple, and with a small ability to customize.
  • 92
 Always count on OneUp to design solid shit, and price their stuff like they expect us to be able to afford it!
  • 30
 int.oneupcomponents.com/collections/small-parts that alone is why oneup is an awesome company, my syncros bottle cage tool pump holder lost the little rubber thing for the pump....its over cant buy a replacement oneup all the way
  • 50
 Many of their products seem like a reach, but the products above look great. Who doesn’t want an Orange rear axel ffs?
  • 10
 Will go well with the cobalt on the front!
  • 82
 When is OneUp going to start making suspension or full bikes?
  • 31
 Post looks great but with bike companies making lower seat post mast and having 29'' wheels, the application might not work for many riders. When low gets too low your ass crack becomes a third brake caliper!
  • 31
 Any reason the TEST-RIDE-OVAL code wouldn't work in Canada? Tried on both an oval and a round ring to no avail.

"This code isn't valid for the items in your cart"
  • 51
 You need to have an Oval and a Round ring in your cart for the discount to apply.
  • 30
 @OneUpComponents: Why no syntace x12? Were they being stingy with the rights?
  • 10
 @OneUpComponents: I tried that but the discount didn't work for me here in Canada.
  • 20
 @Skooks: Sorry to hear that you're having an issue. Send us an email to [email protected] with your details and we'll get you sorted today. 
  • 10
 @gotohe11carolina: Syntace cannot be improved upon.
  • 10
 @OneUpComponents: dont understand what i have to buy. Was looking to try that but same error, and tried many combos... shame
  • 10
 @gotohe11carolina: I think so, I searched for x12 axle for a long time and nobody except Syntace and some aliexpress makers made one.
  • 52
 I suspect it's solid to save on machining costs, nothing to do with being "stronger"
  • 31
 Anecdotally, I heard they designed this axle as a few of their athletes were requesting something stiffer and burlier from having their own issues. Stoked to see this hit the market finally, I trust a solid stiff ass 7075 axle tested by the king of bike smashing (Richie) more than anything else. Having snapped one OEM axle in the past, and my current setup having known issues with the axles, I've been eagerly waiting for this to drop.
  • 40
 @mdhorner: Fair enough, I wish I was a metallurgical or mechanical engineer so I could be more certain. I just can't fathom how an aluminium 12mm axle with 3-7 mm bored out of center could possibly flex.
  • 10
 @timmins: i wonder this too i mean really how much flex... i need raw data so i can part with my cash and sleep at night knowing my axle wont flex .0005 mm could possibly be a game changer for me
  • 20
 @buttmonkey5000: Haha fair, definitely talking minuscule gains here. But I'll tell you what... not getting yeeted into the ground at speed after snapping an axle sounds like a game changer!
  • 10
 I wonder why they won't produce X12 versions. These are quite common (Cube, Canyon, Scott...)
  • 10
 I was holding out for one up to bring out Shimano 12 speed rings, I didnt wait long enough.... if we get to ride bikes again I'll work on wearing out the round ring and go back to an oval!
  • 20
 So we're all going to just pretend we don't notice the Shimano brake / SRAM rotor?
The other way around, maybe. But not this.
Never this..
  • 10
 @OneUpComponents My multitool is starting to corrode into my pump. Is that a thing...... no problems with my 170 dropper though. Like the looks of the 210 post for my 2020 sight.
  • 30
 We've not seen much if this. The Aluminium side plates should last and stay nice. Send us an email with some pictures of this, it sounds like something we'd be happy to warranty for you. [email protected] Thanks!
  • 10
 @OneUpComponents This is cool. When are we getting replacement top caps and damper adjustment rings for our fox forks so we can match the colors of our OneUp EDC / axles / chainguides?

 "TEST-RIDE-OVAL discount code isn’t valid for the items in your cart"
I'm trying to buy a 32 tooth oval switch ring.

 You need to have an Oval and a Round ring in your cart for the discount to apply.

 Your mother likes my large diameter dropper post as well.
  • 10
 Does anyone have an opinion on the Bikeyoke Revive vs the Oneup?
  • 53
 The Bikeyoke is a Mercedes. The Oneup is a Ford
  • 32
 @garrisond5: so, I have had a couple of revives and think they're awesome. I think that Ford's are garbage and unreliable. How does the one-up compare in this case?
  • 52
 The BikeYoke ist twice as expensive. Mine sagged after half a year and the internal "revive"-Function didn´t fix that so it had to be sent off for service.

The OneUp V2 I got instead had rough bushings from the factory, OneUp exchanged these and now it´s running at least as smooth for 1/4 year.
  • 13
 @Mntneer: Then you agree with me completely.
  • 40
 I have two Revives and one OneUp V2. The OneUp post is built well and works fine (better than most), but the Revives are in a league of their own. The build quality is the best I've seen in a dropper, they require far less force at the lever and saddle to actuate, and they're smoooooth. It's as if they somehow removed all friction from the post without adding any slop.

For the price, the OneUp is probably the better post, but if you can afford the Revive, you'll love it.

BikeYoke also makes all replacement parts available for cheap, which is another big perk.

I'll be trying the BikeYoke Divine next time around.
  • 10
 @DaneL: thanks for your input. I got a oneup with a frame that I bought, but Ive been using one of my revives instead. I'll probably just get a new, longer revive that I won't need to use with a shim
  • 70
 Oh boy, I guess I'm qualified to answer this since one of my bikes has a OneUp V2 and the other has a BikeYoke Revive. I wouldn't personally spend the extra for the BikeYoke... I think they're on par with one another. I've only been riding the OneUp for a few months, so the long term jury is still out, but with replacement parts being cheap, and it being user serviceable, I'm really not concerned. Obviously the BikeYoke is also solid. I just find them to be exactly as reliable as one another and to have a similar feel. So why not go with the cheaper one?
  • 20
 @Segamethod: i would say the revive is cheaper in the long run as the oneup needs a new cartridge from time to time.
  • 11
 I have a revive but didn't take long to be loose + sagged. Parts are not expensive but shipping is... I'll call a shop here that sells them to see if they can get the parts.

I just got a V2 but won't try it before a couple of weeks... A friend has one and love it but the lever seems rough vs the revive though! I'll probably put it on my fatbike and keep the revive for summer anyway.
  • 10
 @Timo82: i have one of the first revive´s that came out and had to bleed my post regularly because of sagging (which is done in 5 seconds) but it got serviced half a year ago and the internals were changed to v2 version...since then i did not need one single bleed. best seatpost in the business. its not cheap but you wont regret it in the long run. i am also tempted by the oneup post but dont like the idea of changing a cartridge every once in a while. what do they cost? & its not that environmental friendly imo.
  • 10
 @Mntneer: Oneup posts work great but need constant maintenance. Every six weeks you need to remove your seat and add air. Huge pain in the ass.
  • 10
 @whitebirdfeathers: That doesn't sound right. Shoot us an email, reference this comment, we'll address this with you TODAY. Thanks.
  • 10
 @funkzander: Cartridge replacement is very rarely needed, though we do have them in that event. Seasonal maintenance and a good set up on the bike should be all they require. Any questions at all, fire us an email [email protected] and we'll sort it out with you.
  • 10
 @OneUpComponents: email sent to your info@ address.
  • 30
 @Timo82: I am sorry to hear you had a problem with your REVIVE. What exactly do you mean when you say it "sagged" and it became "loose". Really curious about this one.
Also, we do offer worldwide free shipping for orders over 20€. If you stay below 20€, then shipping is 5€ flat-rate to any country. I am not, sure, but I think, I would not consider this expensive
