Covid-19 Update: We still have a healthy stockpile of components on the shelves and a safe method for shipping them.

We’re still receiving your orders, and really appreciate your support! Please be patient, as it may take a few days longer for us to get your order confirmation sent and orders shipped under the current circumstances. Rest assured, we will get your parts to you as fast as we are able to, while still observing Covid-19 safety protocols.

International Customers: We have been seeing parcels sit in customs all over the world for up to 2 weeks with no update to the tracking information. These orders are eventually delivered, you will just have to be extra patient.

Thank you,

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.

HEY PATRICK WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT WEIRD MIC HEY PATRICK WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT WEIRD MICROFISHE LOOKING MACHINE?! “That’s our PJ-300 Optical Comparator. It’s a Mitutoyo like most all of our metrology instruments. (Metrology is the science of measuring). It projects a 2D profile image of a small part onto a screen with a grid. Using the grid, one can verify dimensions and inspect the part. It’s good at checking outer-diameter threads, as you can measure the depth of the thread (from the crest to root, so top of the point to bottom of the valley). So, you can check that depth on a thread chart to see if it is in range for the appropriate class of thread. We can also check groove depths, ect. It’s good at roundie bits. I also use it to check threading inserts and bore bars, as the tip of some of our tools are very sharp (little to no radius) which is not visible to my naked eyes. So it’s faster to check it (the tool) on the comparator then load it in the machine and make a part to find out the part is bad because the tool is bad.” Cool, looks fun, thanks Patrick!
