Product Story

IS mounts are the type with the mounting screws that install horizontally. We make them in +0, +20 and +40. To figure out what size adapter you need, you’ll have to check and see what size rotor your frame and/or fork were designed for. For example: if your fork was designed to fit a 160mm rotor and you want to run a 180mm rotor, that is a difference of 20mm, and that’s the adapter you would need. Another example would be a frame that was designed to fit a 140mm rotor, where you want to run a 160mm rotor: you would also need a 20mm adapter.

Please don’t call us asking what size adapter you need, we just don’t know what rotor diameter every frame and fork out there were designed for, so you’ll have better luck asking the frame manufacturer themselves, or your local friendly bike shop.

The post mount version works the same as IS, except the caliper mounts to frame or fork directly through the caliper holes, instead of at a 90^ angle.

Introducing the BËP. It’s just a handlebar plug Introducing the BËP. It’s just a handlebar plug, right? Sure, but when the machinist bike nerds at PAUL start 
designing, prototyping, (obsessing), and testing a project, even a simple bar plug can end up at 
NASA-level standards of tolerance, function, and reliability. 
We think we’ve arrived at the highest quality handlebar plugs in the world. Cheap rubber and 
plastic construction were never good enough. 100% CNC machined aluminum expanding-
wedge construction means that once tightened properly, they’re NEVER falling out or coming 
loose.

New bike camping froggy shirts and they are SUPER New bike camping froggy shirts and they are SUPER soft high quality US made 100% cotton, garment-dyed using a vintage pigment-dye process, then printed using a water based ink, so even the the ink itself has a soft touch and is breathable. So stoked on this artwork by @hurrydive and this might be the nicest t-shirt we’ve ever used. 🤌
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.
