Fixed Boost Disk Word (148mm)

Only a real weirdo would ask us to make a BOOST spaced Fixed Gear hub. But here we are, so if you’re here looking at these, you’re a weirdo! This unicorn enables the fixed-gear conversion of bikes with 148mm BOOST rear spacing. It’s machined with care by us here in Chico, California. It’s absolutely bomb-proof, light, easily adjustable, serviceable, and comes with our own thick stainless steel lockring.

$216.00 – $238.00

Product Story

We machine these hubs from 2-5/8″ round bars of aircraft grade 6061 aluminum. The hub shells are put through four different machining processes before they go to finishing, and the end result is something we’re very proud of. The flanges are canted towards the rim, and the spoke holes are chamfered to reduce stress on the head and elbow of the spoke.

The hub shell is available with dedicated fixed gear and lockring threading on one side, with a 6 bolt disc rotor mount on the other side. Proper left-handed lockring threading keeps fixed gear cogs secure, and our heavy-duty stainless steel lockring is included.

The axle is precision turned in-house from 7075 aluminum, which has a great strength to weight ratio.

We use high-fill sealed bearings, and they can be easily adjusted with our simple adjuster ring.

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!

  The crackled (burned) paint job and shiny new “Pale Ale” green anodized components represent fire and new growth, a phoenix rising from the ashes of the Dixie Fire that burned 1 million acres in the northern Sierra. 
  This ties into our fundraiser for @sierratrails who are revolutionizing a new method of integrating fire resiliency and community protection into their years of experience building and maintaining recreational trails in Northern California.

 Is Paul really weird enough to release square taper cranks in 2025? Yup, our classic 100% Pure Cranks are back, but this time with self-extracting crankbolts, 3-Bolt Direct Mount chainring interface, and JIS square-taper bottom bracket compatibility. 
  These are machined from super strong American milled 2024 aluminum, which means we can remove a lot of material for an elegant crankarm, without sacrificing strength and stiffness. The square taper bottom bracket interface means you can fine-tune your chainstay clearance, while the 3-Bolt direct-mount chainring means you can choose from a wide range of brands, teeth, and offsets, for a combination of killer Q-Factor and chainline.
 Available on our website or from your favorite local bike shop now! (Unless this is actually an April Fools Day Joke, I’m still not sure.)
