Product Story

Small front or rear racks can mount to these posts for a strong connection and integrated appearance.

Rack Adapters replace the brake bolts that thread into the center of our brake pivots. The threaded posts that extend from them have 5mm threads and include a nylock nut.

Installation and spring adjustment is the same as with the original brake pivot hardware, except that a 14mm wrench is used in place of a 5mm hex wrench for tightening the pivot.

Please note that our Rack Adapters are not compatible with the center mount version of our Racer or Racer Medium brakes. If you have questions, please contact us.

Should we bring back #FixtureFriday ? Before you c Should we bring back #FixtureFriday ? Before you can make all the parts, you have to make all the fixtures, and these aren’t something you can buy off a shelf! All of our production and assembly fixtures are one-offs made by Paul or Patrick or Jacob in the manual machine shop (although Jacob just made our first ever 3D printed fixtures, but that’s a story for a different Friday 😉). 
  This fixture is for pressing the little sealed cartridge-bearings into our Canti and Love levers. Once mounted in an arbor press, a little magnet holds the bearing until you press-fit it into the lever blade with a pull on the arbor press. In theory these bearings could be replaced down the line, but we haven’t had to do it yet. Thank you for attending our Ted Talk, happy Friday! ✌️

Sure, you might see us goofing off and getting weird at bike events, but when we get back to work in the machine shop, we take our work VERY serious!
