The Radavist

30 years of making dang fine parts in Chico, California is something worth celebrating! Paul Component is celebrating three decades of millin’ metal with this run of limited edition box sets. Included in the hand-numbered kit are 2 Short-Pull I.S. Klamper Brakes, 1 Pair of Short-Pull Brake Levers, 1 Quick Release Seat Collar, and 1 Bottle Opener.

Each part is finished in a beautiful, alternating Pewter n Purple anodizing, with “30” engraved. Each kit comes packaged in a CNC machined and individually numbered wooden box (1/30-30/30). Only 30 of these were made and when they’re gone, they’re gone.

This kit looks amazing and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for PAUL and crew!

Head to Paul Component Engineering to pick up a set for you or someone you really want to stoke out.

About a year ago, Paul Component Engineering launched their nifty dropper post remote for MTB bars but what about droppers on drop bar bikes? Well, on Friday they announced a 31.8 clamp dropper remote, which nests nicely on your stem clamp area. These dropper remotes are made in Chico, California and are in stock now at Paul!

Paul’s Duplex lever allows you to control two brake calipers with one lever. Why on Earth would you want that? Well, Patrick explains in this video…

PAUL is turning 30! And to celebrate they’re hosting an Open House on October 19th! Read all the details below!

Did you see those PAUL Dune Buggy Bandanas that Matt Loomis designed for the brand? Well, the team at PAUL loved them so much that they used the design on new water bottles. Check them out at PAUL.

While our Shop Visit to Squid Bikes was very thorough, it’s hard to beat video walkthroughs, and sofa talks, especially when Travis and Paul from Paul Component Engineering have the camera!

PAUL looks at their thumbies and walks you through their use, installation, and everything you wanted to know about these versatile shifter pods.

Patrick works at Paul and he’s quite the character. In the latest video from their machine shop he explains how the Set N Forget thru-axles are made and how they work!

Brown is one of those colors that is very inconsistant to anodize, often times resulting in a complete scrap of the product run. Most companies won’t work with it, including PAUL, and would rather spend their valuable time making stuff that people can buy! So when our friends at SimWorks hit up PAUL to make a special edition engraved and brown-anodized run of parts, they weren’t exactly stoked to go through with it, but the result is well worth it!

If you’ve got a drop bar bike you want to easily convert to a flat bar, these lil jammers are your answer. By using a SRAM TT barcon, or bar end shifter, you can run your 10 or 11 speed road stuff on a flat bar. I wonder if they’re compatible with the MicroShift 12 speed eagle barcons? Hmmmmmm

Edit: they already make a thumb shifter for that!
