Lost and Found Gravel Festival, where do we even begin?! We’ve been providing our world famous aid station for this event for yeeeears now, and it’s one of our favorite parties, I mean rides, of the summer! You can hammer this as a race, or register with a group of friends and take all day: you’re going to enjoy the scenery of the #LostSierra and the awesome vibes, no matter what. You’ll know you’re getting close to the PAUL aid station when you smell the bacon and hear the Grateful Dead (or Afroman😂). Also, all the money raised at this event goes right back into trail building and community in this area, so this is what pays off when you come back to ride Mt Hough, Mills Peak, Downieville, Lakes Basin, etc etc. June 13th is the date, register now and let’s party!

I know, it’s not that big of a deal, but it does come in handy and look real elegant. Our Klamper-inspired topcaps now come in a version with a built-in 5mm spacer. Some carbon fork manufacturers specify it, and sometimes you just wanna keep a touch of extra steerer tube around for adjustments or resale value. Anyways, The Rook is now live on the website! ♟️

We’re SUPER excited about this new trail network opening just up the mountain from us above Butte Meadows! Two trails are already finished, with 5 or 6 more in the works, and an eventual plan to connect this to the @sierratrails Connected Communities trails. Yeah, this is big!
So… we asked @the.scorps if he’d be willing to donate artwork for a fundraiser T-Shirt, and he doodled up this fun drawing of the Colby Mountain Lookout. These are VERY limited edition, so if you want a sweet rare McNally shirt while raising money for a killer trail system in Lassen National Forest, head to our website quick before they’re gone!

It’s no secret our water bottles are made in the USA by @specialized_custom and it’s also no secret we’re passionate about recycling around here. Well, they just started offering a couple new bottles made entirely from 100% recycled material. While we aren’t crazy about putting more plastic out in the world, it may as well be 100% recycled AND recyclable, so we’re offering this option in our Dune Buggy bottle, in this Teal color. Soooo…. Did this thirst trap of @jxrad trick you into reading this far? ♻️

Happy Friday! Paul designed our first seatpost (the “Tall & Handsome”) with 26mm of setback to accommodate Brooks saddles, and while it’s become a cult classic, we’ve had requests for years now for something of the same high quality in a zero offset. We took the extra design time to dial in every feature WE want to see in a simple, reliable, beautiful seatpost, then machined it to our super high tolerances right here in Chico California. Head over to our website and get to know this elegant new family member, it’s in stock and shipping now!
