Paul Component Engineering Groovy Barrel Adjusters $16-24
Wanna spice up your Love Levers or Canti Levers? Check out these Groovy Barrel Adjusters from Paul Component Engineering. PAUL machines these Groovy Barrel Adjusters from custom extruded American 6061 aluminum on their trusty ol’ Femco HL-25 CNC Turning Center.
Some would say it’s an awful lot of work for something as simple as a barrel adjuster, but PAUL really wants this specific shape, threading, and locknut that translates into quick and easy on-the-fly brake cable adjustments, even with winter gloves on.
If you love mechanical brakes, these things make a world of difference!

ORNOT Power Air Hooded Pullover for Men and Women $125/$145
Crafted from deadstock Polartec® Power Air™, the latest from ORNOT is a Hooded Pullover, featuring a unique quilted texture reminiscent of the clothing worn in the original Star Wars movies. The fabric’s technical composition and dual surfaces trap air, ensuring insulation and all-day comfort. It’s designed with a hidden rear zip pocket and a front zippered kangaroo pocket and is lined with a deadstock power grid. Made by hand with love in the SF Bay Area.
These are made entirely of deadstock fabric and the “Hoth” fabric is slightly distressed in some areas. Because of this, these are discounted. So grab one now, this is a limited run, and when they’re gone, that’s it. May the force be with you?

Are City Cyclists “Better” People?
Research science is constantly finding out that cycling is just better. Better for your health. Better for the air we breathe. Better. Better. Better. Yet this study that has been making the rounds finds that cyclists who ride bikes in cities are just better people overall:
