Canti Lever

The Canti Lever is a short-pull brake lever for use with short-pull brakes like cantilevers, center-pull brakes, side-pull calipers, and short-pull mechanical disk brakes. Dual sealed cartridge-bearings, precise machined tolerances, and high quality American alloys make this the smoothest, stiffest, strongest bicycle brake lever in the world.

  • What is Cable Pull?
    Short Pull ↓

    Short pull brake levers have less leverage than long pull brake levers and pull a shorter amount of cable as they are actuated.

    They are intended only for use with short pull brakes, such as side pull caliper brakes, cantilever brakes, centerpull brakes and mini-v brakes.

  • Clamp Size
    22.2mm ↓

    22.2mm is equivalent to 7/8 inches, and is the diameter of most mountain bike handlebars. Many flat bars, risers and city bars have this diameter. It is measured at the end of the bar where grips and brake levers attach.

Product Story

We recommend Canti Levers for use with our Racer, Neo-Retro,  Touring Canti, Mini-Moto or Short Pull Klamper brakes, but they work well paired with any road caliper brake, cantilever brake, or other short-pull brake. For our long-pull brake lever, see the Love Lever Compact or Love Lever 2.5.

These levers are machined by us here in Chico California to exacting specifications. The pivot features a dual sealed cartridge bearing for the smoothest, stiffest brake lever you will ever use. Like all our components, these will be serviceable for a lifetime.

A 5mm set screw in the side of the lever perch allows you to adjust the reach, setting the distance from the bar to the lever to fit your hands. These levers come in Standard Reach, or Short Reach for those with smaller hands, or who just like their lever blade closer to the grip.

Barrel adjusters are included for fine-tuning your brakes, and their oversized design and smooth shape makes it easy to adjust them by hand, even wearing thick gloves.

Introducing the BËP. It’s just a handlebar plug Introducing the BËP. It’s just a handlebar plug, right? Sure, but when the machinist bike nerds at PAUL start 
designing, prototyping, (obsessing), and testing a project, even a simple bar plug can end up at 
NASA-level standards of tolerance, function, and reliability. 
We think we’ve arrived at the highest quality handlebar plugs in the world. Cheap rubber and 
plastic construction were never good enough. 100% CNC machined aluminum expanding-
wedge construction means that once tightened properly, they’re NEVER falling out or coming 
loose.
 Available in every color of the rainbow on our website, or from your favorite bike shop, now!

New bike camping froggy shirts and they are SUPER New bike camping froggy shirts and they are SUPER soft high quality US made 100% cotton, garment-dyed using a vintage pigment-dye process, then printed using a water based ink, so even the the ink itself has a soft touch and is breathable. So stoked on this artwork by @hurrydive and this might be the nicest t-shirt we’ve ever used. 🤌
Since we’re bringing back framebuilding parts, w Since we’re bringing back framebuilding parts, we figured we may as well make another batch of Permanent Pivots. These elegant CNC machined stainless steel brake bosses allow you to remove the pivots from any PAUL rim brakes, and mount your brakes directly to the boss for a super clean, simple aesthetic. These have been very popular when framebuilders are designing a bike around Racer and Racer-M brakes, which would be locked into PAUL brakes anyways, but you can also use them for any of our Canti and V brakes. Available on the website now!
It’s been many years since we’ve offered these It’s been many years since we’ve offered these single-speed/track dropouts, but we now have a limited run of 100 pairs available for those of you building 10mm axle singlespeed/track frames. The knurled self-nesting adjusters and locknuts make it super easy to center your wheel and dial in chain tension, then put the wheel right back where it belongs after re-installing it. Available on our website now!
