5 New SPD Trail & DH Pedals Tested: Can Anyone Beat Shimano?

@korev: Yes that's clear to us old farts but there are a lot of people in the world that don't remember or know what a toe clip is. And the pedals that 'clip in' seem to have a more of a clip feature than flats, so they understandably don't get why they are called clipless. And then you get OneUp calling their clipless pedals Clip pedals..... it can be all very confusing to people. We landed on Clip In for terminology a long time ago and it works for us.

5 New SPD Trail & DH Pedals Tested: Can Anyone Beat Shimano?

SPD stands for Shimano Pedaling Dynamics and shouldn't be applied to non Shimano products ideally. However this does admittedly lead to the confusing 'clipless' terminology. Interesting to see that OneUp calls their pedals Clip Pedals. We refer to them to customers generically as Clip-In pedals to avoid the confusion that comes with the 'clipless' name.

5 New SPD Trail & DH Pedals Tested: Can Anyone Beat Shimano?

@Roost66: there has been an updated axle from the original on the Saints. also I guess we've accomplished the impossible. mostly they just need cleaning and blowing out and regreasing. disassembly is a challenge for sure

9 MTB Deals from Amazon Prime Days 2025 (July 9-11)

As the owner of a LBS I can tell you that we understand that it's an expensive sport, so we get why people are trying to save money where they can. We also understand that it can be awkward to come in the store and see if we can price match something.....However it is much preferable for us to try and match an online price for someone than to not have been given the opportunity to do so. I'd rather match a price and make a little something on an item than simply not sell it at all. If you are lucky enough to have a good LBS, please give them a chance before you spend your money on Amazon and send your money straight out of your community.
