Chain Keeper

The Chain Keeper is a guide to keep your chain right where it belongs. Mounted in place of a front derailleur, the Chain Keeper works with single chain ring drivetrains using a narrow chain. The chain block surrounds the chain as it meets the chain ring and prevents it from skipping off.

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!
