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.

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.)
