I got these pedals as seconds from a cop on the Riverside Police force. They were used but free. That was 9 years ago. I have abused the living heck out of these pedals and not changed the elastomers in them since the day i got them. They are still strong, keep me clipped in and work like a charm. In terms of value, I got mine free, but if I paid $160 for these things back in the early 90s and have had to do no work or replacments on them, I would consider that killer value.
I just bought a new pair of shoesthis month and with them I got some free Time ATACS (how do i luck out with free pedals all the time?). I am going to throw on the ATACS and give them a "fair trial" before I put my Onza cleats on my new Specialized Pro 03 MTBs. If I like them, i'll write a review there. If not, I'm going going...back back...to Onza Onza.

I've really enjoyed using these pedals now for 3 seasons. Getting them set up was key for using them. Have lubricated them regularly and only had to replace worn cleats. The company had some problems lie the pedals came setup differently at different times. The trick to having them work I found was to have the large hole of the retention plate engaged by the toe of the cleat. I ride alot, just finished the Leadville 100 and these pedals still work flawlessly. | | Overall Rating: |

The standard lubricant elastomers are murderous and life threatening since once you get your feet connected it'll take Schwarzenegger-like twisting power to release yourself from these biests, especially in winter time.
Bought my Onza Ti's to complete my dream bike. Helped me to get my AMP B3 below 23.5 lbs.
Once I got my new bike and tried it out (which was in cold Dec. '93) I took some
skiing lessons on my gums. I will have to take away 2 stars for not warning customers with the dangers involved using the standard elastomers in cold weather, since after all I am pretty happy with the pedals after I found the right pair of elastomers(the black ones), which were then good in any weather.

I purchased a Gary Fischer Paragon that came with the Onza HO pedals and must say that I have been disappointed with them. Yes, they are lighter than other clipless pedals but what comes with the lighter package is a less dependable product. I have been on many descents where I needed to jump over logs, rocks or water and as I began to lift, often one of my feet would come out of the pedal making for a painful landing or a major digger. I miss the confidence I had with the Shimano pedals that I used in the past. I don't think that plastic or synthetic material used to cut weight locks the foot in as well, its seems to make for easy slippage. We all know how important it is to have confidence while making a descent, without it, harm usually follows the tentativeness. | | Overall Rating: |

You people complaining about the Onza H.O. pedals are morons! To make the pedals work their at their best, you have to make a few modifications: 1st- replace the stock elastomers with the hardest ones (black). 2nd- make sure rubber around the cleat on the bottom of your shoe isn't interferring with the operation if the pedal....Any excess, and it makes entry and exit a pain. 3rd- don't try to dissemble them for lubrication, (this loosens the cartrige bearing)
Just take off the outside cover and squirt the lube in there and seal it back up.
If you have these pedals dialed in just right, they perform better than any other pedal on the market...Trust me! I just love it when people like you (H.O.bashers)

I rode these pedals for 15 months. There is a trick to make them work. First,
use the black elastomers and shave all the rubber off your shoe that even
comes close to the pedal. Lastly hope that you never smack a rock ( Yea,
right!) The aluminum body tends to bend making it impossible to get in on
one side and impossible to release on the other. These pedals are OK as long
as you don't have to pay more than 80.00 or 90.00 dollars for them. If want

These onza pedals are some of the best and worst on the market. For mountian
bikers they can be a bit infuriating 'cos they're so small and with the ground
being uneven they can be hard to engage unless you really concentrate on getting
the cleat in the right place. They also wore out quite quickly, needing new
plates after only 4 months riding (1000-1200 miles use). The bearings also were
not the best in the world with a little slop in them after only 500 miles.
But they are very light (285 gms) and are well sealed against dirt and water
penetration and suffer little from being bunged up with mud (no springs here,
just elastomers).
Overall they could be better finished with better bearings but having elastomer
tension system is better than springs. | | Overall Rating: |

I've used these pedals in all conditions, from the gloopy mud of Wales to the icy wastes of Scotland to the dusty singletrack of Marin and they have given me excellent service. A previous post describes how they release during bunny hops - hey, put the harder elastomers in and it will stop happening. They are light and require very little servicing, which, incidentally is extremely simple. The different elastomer allow you to dial in the pedals to your particular style of riding, and the variable float is great for dodgy knees. I've used the Shimanos and the Speedplays and for overall suitability for mountain biking, I'd chose the Onzas. | | Overall Rating: |
