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.

Patrick gets dusty with is unicorn ice cream cone and unveils the new PAUL WORD fixed hub, or Wacky One-speed Rear Device. These are hubs for fixed gears like a tracklocross bike. Like his tie-dye shirt? Well, PAUL has some new threads too!

… with Patrick about the Boxcar stems!

At Grinduro, Chico-based Paul Component Engineering displayed their new flat mount Klampers. Expect more details to come, but I had to share these with y’all seeing as how many have expressed an interest in seeing Klampers updating to this popular disc brake interface. EDIT: Check them out now at Paul!

We just visited White Industries earlier this year for the first time and have a stout photo gallery showing the ins and outs of their operations, but for a motion picture version, check out this new video from the team at PAUL!

… and how they changed cycling is an article at the Guardian I highly suggest you read!

While Paul recommends not breaching the 4nm torque spec on their Boxcar stem bolts, just how much can Travis push it? This should go without saying but don’t try this at home!

This bike was one of my favorite shoots last year and now Travis gives you a look at it in the latest video from Paul Component Engineering. Did you miss the original gallery? Check it out in the Related sidebar to the left!

Over in Chico, Travis from PAUL had an idea, inspired from a certain band from the 80’s and wanted to do a fun product for the readers of this website. Splatter ano, like this band, had its heyday in the 1980’s and without giving you a direct link, if you search for the band’s name this color combination represents, it’ll take you to a special page where you can pick one of these special Somethin’ Somethin’ up.

We’ll give you two hints. The first being: this band was formed by two brothers, who were born in the Netherlands and moved to Pasadena, California in the early 60’s. The second: two lead singers were prominent during this band’s lifespan, which continues today.

If you head to PAUL and add in the answer to the search bar, it’ll take you straight to the product. For whatever reason, y’all can’t figure this out, express your concern in the comments…

SORRY TO ALL YOU VAN HALEN FANS, THESE ARE SOLD OUT!

In the world of modern mountain bikes, shorter stems are usually better, and that’s the motivation for Paul Component’s newest version of the Box Stem. These made in Chico stems now come in a 35mm length and weigh only 118grams. They’re in stock now at Paul. I can’t wait to put one on my mountain bike and on my touring bike.

If you’re thinking about buying some Paul Component Klampers, or if you already have a set, be sure to check out this video on how to adjust these unique disc brakes.

If you’re running Campagnolo on your disc road or disc ‘cross bike and have wanted to run Klampers, PAUL has just released a Campy-optimized design. The Campy-compatible brakes are made in Chico, California and are in stock now at Paul.
