All Moon Units are sold as a pair, with one Unit for each of your brakes, front and rear.

When we introduced our Moon Unit in the nineties, it was one of the first high quality aftermarket cable carriers. Because so many of you wanted us to reintroduce the Moon Unit, we made it happen.

The Moon Unit has a raised boss for the brake cable clamp that makes setup easy and ensures cable security. Machined channels on the face of the Moon Unit hold the cables in place and an 8mm hex on the back allows you to actually put a wrench on it.

Should we bring back #FixtureFriday ? Before you c Should we bring back #FixtureFriday ? Before you can make all the parts, you have to make all the fixtures, and these aren’t something you can buy off a shelf! All of our production and assembly fixtures are one-offs made by Paul or Patrick or Jacob in the manual machine shop (although Jacob just made our first ever 3D printed fixtures, but that’s a story for a different Friday 😉). 
  This fixture is for pressing the little sealed cartridge-bearings into our Canti and Love levers. Once mounted in an arbor press, a little magnet holds the bearing until you press-fit it into the lever blade with a pull on the arbor press. In theory these bearings could be replaced down the line, but we haven’t had to do it yet. Thank you for attending our Ted Talk, happy Friday! ✌️

Sure, you might see us goofing off and getting weird at bike events, but when we get back to work in the machine shop, we take our work VERY serious!
