Covid-19 Update: We still have a very healthy stockpile of components on the shelves and a safe method for shipping them.

We’re still receiving your orders, and really appreciate your support, but please be patient as it may take a few days longer for us to get your order confirmation sent, and orders shipped under the current circumstances. Rest assured we will get your parts to you as fast as we are able to while observing safety protocols!

Thank you,

The PAUL Crew

Fixed Word

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.

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.

📣LAST CALL FOR BLUE PARTS!🔔 We were offering 📣LAST CALL FOR BLUE PARTS!🔔 We were offering blue as a limited edition colorway for a little while but it’s about time to wrap it up folks. If you want anything before we take it down on Monday, make sure you get your order in this weekend! 🍻 Hmmm...what color should we offer next? 📷: @neytural
There’s just something real satisfying about wat There’s just something real satisfying about watching ol’ Ronnie Rainbow use and abuse our various parts through all the miles he puts in on various bikes. We love our California riding, but him and @goodolenam make the East Coast look like a pretty dang nice place to ride! Ok but be honest, how many tics do you pick off your clothes after each ride there? 😱
If you know us at all, you know that Downieville i If you know us at all, you know that Downieville is our HAPPY PLACE, for waaay too many reasons to list. It’s a bummer that two of our favorite events to support with aid stations (and party at) have been cancelled for this year, but more than that, it’s super heartbreaking to hear how the town itself is struggling without recreational visitors coming through supporting their economy. That being said, we ABSOLUTELY respect Downieville’s request that we all STAY AWAY: A small intimate community with a high number of elderly and no local hospital would be DEVASTATED if Covid was introduced by a careless visitor. So what can we do to be supportive of our favorite place on earth right now? 1. Stay away until they give the all-clear, and respect their boundaries. 2. If you registered for an event that’s been canceled please be understanding about your forfeited entry fees. Consider it your donation to keeping Sierra Buttes and the local community they employ afloat so you can enjoy these trails when they re-open. 3. If you didn’t register for any events but normally enjoy riding in the area, find a way to donate a little tax deductible money. @sierratrails can point you in the right direction. 4. When the coast is clear, let’s get up there and ride and hire shuttles and eat at the restaurants and do everything we can to support these folks. This isn’t just a playground, it’s a community, and as guests we owe it to them. ✌️🍻-The PAUL Comp Crew 📷#2: @theradavist
