Motolite

For those people still running v/linear/direct pull brakes, we offer the Motolite. This brake has proven itself to be the best of this genre time and time again: it’s high-powered, has excellent modulation and is easy to adjust/maintain.

Product Story

All Motolite’s have the capability of running a larger size wheel. In other words, the arms allow the pads to travel way up the arm so you could say, run a 650b or 700c wheel on a bike designed for 26”wheels.

This brake is 100% machined in-house, from 6061 Aluminum. Like all our brakes, these feature our over-sized sealed pivot sleeves machined to a tolerance of plus or minus one thousandths of an inch. And of course our independently adjustable square wire springs keep everything snappy and balanced.

The quick release mechanism is super simple and always reliable. Why doesn’t everybody do it like this?

Yes, disc brakes are taking over. We’re fine with that (ahem, Klampers), but if you want to keep things simple, avoid that inevitable disc noise, or have a classic Ritchey that’s been hanging in the garage since the early 90’s needing a makeover: these are the brakes for you.

Please note that all of our brakes are sold per wheel.

We’re asked occasionally how well our Klamper di We’re asked occasionally how well our Klamper disc brakes work in snow and ice conditions.❄️ After extensive testing all over the world and on actual glaciers in Alaska by our friend @renaissance.cyclist we’re happy to report that they remain as reliable as ever!⛄️✅
When it came to choosing rims for the #SierraExplo When it came to choosing rims for the #SierraExplorerBike you know we went straight to our good buddies at @velocityusa for some polished Blunt SS hoops! Founded in Australia in 1989, Velocity moved their whole factory to the USA in 2012. Now all their rims are made with care in Grand Rapids Michigan by a small crew of bike nerds much like us. We’ve had nothing but great results with these rims, so whoever wins the bike we’re building for @sierranevada to bring to @seaotterclassic is gonna be STOKED!

How’s the #SierraExplorerBike coming along you a How’s the #SierraExplorerBike coming along you ask? Pretty good! Will it be ready in time for @seaotterclassic ? Heck yeah! Let’s peek in on @btchn.bikes and see what’s going on...👀. Wait wait wait, are those headtube reinforcement rings hand filed to emulate the @sierranevada banner shape?! Front spacing is 100.01mm?! @passandstowracks getting painted to match? Oooh dang this thing is gonna be SWEEEEET!
“Mullet shifting”? Heck yeah, we’ve been sel “Mullet shifting”? Heck yeah, we’ve been selling this SRAM shifter adapter for 4 years now! This puppy allows you to mount any under-bar SRAM trigger shifter to a 31.8mm drop bar, so you can run the super wide range MTB drivetrains (such as Eagle) on the latest breed of go-anywhere/dirt-touring/camping/monster-cross/adventure/get-lost drop-bar bikes. We live in Nor-Cal so we might have a few mullet haircuts around here too...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
