  • Cable Pull
    Long Pull ↓

    Long pull brake levers have more leverage than short pull brake levers and pull a longer amount of cable as they are actuated.

    They are intended only for use with long pull brakes, such as linear pull brakes, v-brakes and cable-actuated disk brakes.

  • Clamp Diameter
    22.2mm ↓

    22.2mm is equivalent to 7/8 inches, and is the diameter of most mountain bike handlebars. Many flat bars, risers and city bars have this diameter. It is measured at the end of the bar where grips and brake levers attach.

Product Story

These levers are compatible with all long-pull cable operated brakes. We recommend them for use with our Motolite brakes, but they will work well paired with any v-brake, long-pull mechanical disc brake, (like our Klamper), or any other long pull brake. For a short pull brake lever see our Canti Lever.

Love Levers are machined in-house to extremely high tolerances (0.0002″). The pivot features dual sealed cartridge bearings for the smoothest, stiffest brake lever you will ever use. Like all our components, these will be serviceable for a lifetime.

A 5mm set screw in the side of the lever perch allows you to adjust the reach, setting the distance from the bar to the lever to fit your hands.

Barrel adjusters are included for fine-tuning your brakes, and their oversized design and smooth shape makes it easy to adjust them by hand, even wearing thick winter gloves.

Love Levers are one of our perennial best sellers, and we believe you’ll love the action and the ergonomics of these beauties.

Our monthly email is an ongoing bike conversation for creative people who spend a lot of time in their garage.
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.)
