MiniMoto

The MiniMoto is our mini-v brake for use with short pull road or cantilever brake levers.  We absolutely love it, as does anyone who’s ever ridden one.

    Short pull brakes have less leverage than long pull brakes and require a shorter amount of cable to be pulled when they are actuated.

    They are intended only for use with short pull brake levers such as our Cross Levers or Canti Levers, or short pull drop bar brake levers.

Product Story

Like our Motolite brake, the MiniMoto is a direct pull cantilever brake. This design is simpler to install than a traditional cantilever brake, and gives the MiniMoto a narrow profile.

The arms of the MiniMoto have been shortened to match the leverage of standard road brake levers, making the MiniMoto compatible with drop bar brake levers with integrated shifters.

The short curved arms give plenty of clearance for cyclocross tires or wide fenders. The spring tension is independently adjustable for each arm which means the brake can be precisely centered on the wheel and adjusted for return strength.

With a simple pivoting quick release on one arm, it’s easy to open the brake to remove a wheel. The cable enters the brake through a barrel adjuster at the top of the curved cable noodle. This adjuster makes it quick and painless to fine-tune the cable tension of the brake without tools.

Like the rest of our brakes, the MiniMoto has sealed stainless steel bushings in the pivots. These precisely machined bushings are what contact the brake posts of the frame and give the brake arms a smooth surface to pivot on.

There’s a reason this brake won CX Magazine’s “Best Rim Brake” award.

Please note that all of our brakes are sold per wheel.

Instagram post 2191609022691896846_25667512 We already had quite a few requests for our Set N’ Forget Thru-Axle Skewer in a size to fit the latest @columbus_official forks, so when @allcitycycles started to spec these forks on bikes like their Nature Boy, Cosmic Stallion, and Macho King, we decided we’d better get on it. So yeah, 12x132x1.5 in stock on our webstore or from your favorite bike shop...NOW!
Instagram post 2191051020112772962_25667512 We’ve been supporting Grinduro since its humble beginnings with our aid station up on Mt Hough, sometimes even twice during the same event. When Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship asked us if we’d still like to be involved as the event transitions into Mountain To Meadows in 2020 we said HELL YEAH! In the last 10 years SBTS has secured more than a million dollars worth of grants, donations, and revenue from events like these, which it invests right back into into the incredible trail networks and local communities in and around these small mountain towns of the #LostSierra. They also know how to throw a party, and with a new improved course, a new cross race, AND Meet Your Maker wrapped in, this is going to be one hell of a weekend! Head over to the link in @sierratrails bio, sign up for the registration notification and we’ll see you there! 📷: @theradavist (always with the BEST coverage👀)

Maybe a good Christmas present for your bike-nerd/record-collector buddy? Only $12 on the @allhailtheblackmarket website, link in their bio.
Instagram post 2190185763374976277_25667512 There’s a reason these Flex Fleece Hoodies have a cult following...they’re super soft, warm, and cozy on the inside, super durable, Made In the USA, and that @loomsville Barbarian artwork is EPIC!
Instagram post 2186674045743056444_25667512 Okay maybe we went a LITTLE overboard here. But hey, you only turn 30 once! 🎉 Every step of the way on this project we would come up with something else special to do and were like “YEAH LET’S DO THAT TOO!” 😂 Each one of these Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Box Sets started in Paul’s woodshop in his yard, with him personally milling the planks square and corner rounding the edges. 📐 Then he brought them to the machine shop to be CNC engraved with the PAUL logo, individually numbered (1/30-30/30), and get the pockets cut out. Then they went BACK to Paul’s woodshop where he sanded and finished them all before bringing them BACK to headquarters to install the brass hinges and clasps. Meanwhile, we anodized a small batch of Klampers, Canti Levers, Seat Collars, and Bottle Openers in a sweet alternating Smoky-Pewter/Royal-Purple colorway, and engraved each part with the number “30”. The finished box set is STUNNING. 🤯 The question is...will you be able to resist taking these out of the box, putting them on your, bike and getting them dirty? We put all 30 of these on our website today, go take a look to learn more!
