Covid-19 Update:

We’re still receiving and shipping orders, and really appreciate your support! Please be patient, as it may take a few weeks for orders to be shipped under the current manufacturing circumstances. Rest assured, we will get your parts to you as fast as we are able to, while still observing Covid-19 safety protocols - even if you don't hear from us.

International Customers: We have been seeing parcels sit in customs all over the world for up to 2 weeks with no update to the tracking information. These orders are eventually delivered, you will just have to be extra patient.

Thank you,

The PAUL Crew

We saw a need for high quality 135mm Bolt-On and 142mm Thru-Axle fixed gear hubs, and with our long history and experience making single speed and fixed gear hubs, we knew how to do it right. These beauties are machined 100 percent in-house by us here in Chico, California. They’re absolutely bomb-proof, very light, easily adjustable, serviceable, and come with our own extra thick stainless steel lockring.

$153.00 – $159.00

Product Story

We machine these hubs from 2-1/8″ round bars of aircraft grade 6061 American made 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 or without a set of standard freewheel threads on the other side. Proper left-handed lockring threading keeps fixed gear cogs secure, and our heavy-duty stainless steel lockring is included.

The interchangeable axle goes all through way through the hub and is precision turned in-house from 7075 aluminum, which has a great strength to weight ratio, and is available in 135mm Bolt-On or 142mm Thru-Axle. No flexy, easy-to-lose caps here!

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

Our monthly email is an ongoing bike conversation for creative people who spend a lot of time in their garage.
When we saw the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship an When we saw the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship announcement that all events for 2021 were cancelled due to Covid, we were crushed. Anybody who’s been to the Downieville Classic, Mountains to Meadows, or Lost and Found knows we 
LOVE supporting these events with our aid stations, and partying with some of the best bike weirdos in the world, in one of the most beautiful areas in the world.
 SBTS rely heavily on these events to help raise funds and awareness for all the amazing trails they build in the Lost Sierra, involving, employing, and assisting the local small communities in the process. It’s truly inspiring to behold the hard and meaningful work they put in, and a cause we will trumpet until we’re out of breath. 
 What can we do to help? Well, we’ve decided to offer up one of our few remaining Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Box Sets as a prize to one lucky person, chosen at random, who donates to SBTS by March 14th. Consider donating the amount you would normally spend for entry fees and this will help keep the trails and community in good shape for 2022 when we’re all back out there shredding and partying together!
How to enter:
1. Head over to the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship website and donate any amount you can afford. 
2. Forward the confirmation email you receive from SBTS to travis@paulcomp.com
That’s it! Paul will choose a winner at random after March 14th in some bizarre way, so stay tuned!
