Vertical dropouts hold the rear axle at a fixed distance from the cranks and nine times out of ten this doesn’t put the rear wheel at the right spot for a single speed drivetrain. The result is a chain that is too loose or too tight. The Melvin takes care of the chain tension and lets you run a single speed wheel on almost any frame with a derailleur hanger. The Melvin uses two pulleys, just like a rear derailleur, which gives it 20 teeth of chain wrap. This means that the Melvin will work with multiple front chain rings while maintaining proper chain tension. Of course this is no longer a true single speed, but can come in handy when two or three gears are all you need. Twenty teeth of chain wrap means that chain rings with a maximum difference of twenty teeth can be used up front. The mounting pivot has spacers that can be arranged to adjust the chainline. The Melvin works best, of course, with our hubs, but the chainline spacers allow it to work with most other hubs too. In addition to the pivot spacers, the pulleys have side to side float to quiet slight variances in chainline. The pulleys are made of extruded and machined aluminum and have sealed bearings for durability. They are 2.25mm thick at the tooth which fits inside most narrow multi-speed chains, and the pulley cage is wide enough to allow 1/8″ single speed chains as well. 6061 Aluminum Weight 76g Chainline 19mm-27mm Largest Rear Cog 20 teeth Chain Wrap 20 Teeth↓ |

For those people still running v/linear/direct pull brakes, we offer the Motolite. This brake has proven itself to be the best of this genre time and time again: it’s high-powered, has excellent modulation and is easy to adjust/maintain. The Motolite, Paul Components' flagship linear pull brake, has been around the block a time or two. Paul considers the design is so near to perfect that there is no foreseeable reason to ever change it. First introduced in 1990, Paul's brake pivot mechanism has an excellent track record. A stainless steel bushing mates the brake to the frame's brake posts and provides a larger bearing surface with a tightly controlled tolerance.The brake arms are precision ground and then CNC machined into a light weight, but more importantly strong and reliable form. A brake collar fits around each cylindrical arms and holds the Kool-Stop brake pads in place, while allowing them to be finely tuned for height and toe-in. These pivots are pre-greased for smooth action and sealed to keep them that way. Specially wound square springs offer a snappy return and are easily adjusted and balanced. The quick- release mechanism is simple but reliable, allowing you to easily open up the brake when you need to, but never rattling open on its own. The cable enters the brake through a curved noodle with a Teflon lining for reduced friction. Thanks to the switchable brake arms the cable can be routed into the brake from the left or right Material 6061 Aluminum Weight 137g Finish Anodized Anodized Color Black or Silver Cable Pull Long Pull↓ Brake Pads Salmon Kool Stop Thinline |

The Touring Canti is a powerful cantilever brake with a similar design to the Neo-Retro, but with the arms angled upward. This gives the brake a much narrower profile without significantly reducing stopping power. The narrower profile of the Touring Canti can be desirable if you're riding with large panniers or if your current brakes don't give you enough heel or calf clearance.The arms of the Touring Canti are machined from lightweight 6061 aluminum. A T- shaped cross section prevents the brake from flexing too much. The brake pads mount to slots in the arms that allow for vertical positioning. The toe-in and angle can be fine tuned . Like all of Paul Components' brakes, the Touring Canti has a sealed pivot mechanism. Rubber seals and a stainless steel bushing keep the brake arms turning smoothly no matter what you're riding through. The spring tension can be adjusted in both pivots to center the brake and to adjust the strength of the return swing.

The MiniMoto is our mini-v brake for use with standard short pull brake levers. We absolutely love it, as does anyone who’s ever ridden one. The MiniMoto is a direct pull cantilever brake. This design is simpler to install than a traditional cantilever brake, and gives the MiniMoto a narrow profile. The arms of the MiniMoto have been shortened to match the leverage of standard road brake levers, making the MiniMoto compatible with drop bar brake levers with integrated shifters. The short curved arms give plenty of clearance for cyclocross tires or wide fenders. The spring tension is independently adjustable for each arm which means the brake can be precisely centered on the wheel and adjusted for return strength. The cable enters the brake through a barrel adjuster at the top of the curved cable noodle. This adjuster makes it quick and painless to fine-tune the cable tension of the brake without tools. Like all Paul Component brakes, the MiniMoto has sealed stainless steel bushings in the pivots. These precisely machined bushings are what contact the brake posts of the frame and give the brake arms a smooth surface to pivot on.

The Cross Lever is an inline brake designed for use on the flat upper section of drop handlebars. It can be used with short-pull or long-pull brakes and road bars. By routing your existing brake cable and housing from your drop levers through the Cross Lever, you can have two sets of brake levers that allow you to control your speed from multiple hand positions. The Cross Lever can also be used on its own: Just let the head of brake cable sit in the recess for the housing on the outside of the lever The Cross Lever fits onto the thicker stem clamp area of handlebars, and a hinged clamp allows for installation without needing to strip your bar tape. A barrel adjuster makes it easy to fine tune your cable tension. Two versions are available to fit handlebars with a stem clamp area diameter of 26.0mm or 31.8mm. Additionally, the hinged clamp of a 26.0mm Cross Lever is designed in a way that also allows it to mount securely on handlebars with a 25.4mm diameter stem clamp area. Fully CNC’d construction gives them a solid feel in the hand, and they are designed to work with any kind of brake. The Cross Lever is both a Short Pull and a Long Pull lever, depending upon the position of the adjustable pivot. The levers come with their pivot pins in the hole closest to the handlebar. This location is for short pull brakes: road calipers, center pull cantilever brakes, like our Racer, Racer Medium, Neo-Retro, and Touring Canti, and road mechanical disc brakes, like the short-pull Klamper. Moving the pivot pin to the outer hole makes the levers compatible with long pull brakes, like our Motolites and the long-pull version of the Klamper.

The Funky Monkey is a simple, hanging housing stop for front and rear center pull and cantilever brakes. This simple part is brought to a whole new level with our renowned machining prowess. We make a front and a rear version. The front comes in 7/8″, 1”, AND 1-1⁄8” sizes, the rear is 27.2mm and is meant for mounting on a seatpost. The front Funky Monkey features an extra-long arm that drops down to prevent brake cable housing from bending too tightly and binding up. The arm sticks out far enough to clear most headsets. The rear Funky Monkey has a hinged arm to self-align for the proper cable angle. Both front and rear versions have a barrel adjuster to make brake cable adjustments quick and painless.

Our classic crescent straddle cable carrier for cantilever and center pull brakes. When we introduced our Moon Unit in the nineties, it was one of the first high quality aftermarket cable carriers. Because so many of you wanted us to reintroduce the Moon Unit, we made it happen. The Moon Unit has a raised boss for the brake cable clamp that makes setup easy and ensures cable security. Machined channels on the face of the Moon Unit hold the cables in place and an 8mm hex on the back allows you to actually put a wrench on it. All Moon Units are sold as a pair, with one Unit for each of your brakes, front and rear. Material 6061 Aluminum Weight 15g Finish Anodized |

The Boxcar Stem is the perfect combination of stiffness, strength and reasonable weight. Available in +/- 0 in 50, 70 and 90mm. Also +/- 15 in 70 and 90mm. All screws are high strength stainless steel with the popular T25 head. Made in Chico, California with US sourced 2024 aircraft alloy. This stem was designed from the ground up to be stiff, strong and pretty darn light too. We went through several design iterations and believe we’ve reached the best combination of these three principles. Extensive real world and machine testing and proven this to be one strong stem. With respect to torsion, the rounded box shape is some 25% stiffer than the competition. As for strength, we ran it through 1,000,000 cycles of above normal use stress without a single problem. The stems come in a zero rise and a +/- 15 degree rise. Lengths are 50, 70 and 90mm. All screws are the same pan head T25 Torx type screws in stainless steel. Why Torx? Because they work so well, and are the same wrench size as the ubiquitous rotor screws all makers use. Also SRAM has made a switch to T25 screw heads in almost all their products, which is a good sign. As usual, by letting the function and material properties dictate the shape of the product, we have come up with another one of our often complimented and purposeful designs. Yes, it looks a little different, but with us there is always one good reason for this: to make it work as awesome as possible.

The High Flange Rear is a single speed hub with large diameter flanges. Many options are available for threading, axle spacing, and spoke count. We machine these hubs from three inch round bars of 6061 aluminum. The hub shells are put through four different machining processes before they go to finishing, and the end result is something we’re very proud of. The wide flanges have six window cutouts in them to save weight and draw on the influence of classic track hubs. The hub shells are available with dedicated fixed gear threading on one side only, or in a flip-flop version with fixed threading on one side and freewheel threading on the other. Proper left-handed lock ring threading keeps fixed gear cogs secure, and our heavy-duty stainless steel lock ring is included. The axle is ground from 7075 aluminum, which has a great strength to weight ratio. The outer lock nut faces are made of knurled steel for a solid grip against dropouts. Two axles are available with 120mm or 130mm outer lock nut spacing. The ends of the axle are threaded to receive our stainless steel axle bolts. Hub Service Parts are available to convert between axle lengths. We use high-fill sealed bearings in the High Flange Rear, and they can be adjusted with our simple adjuster ring. The chainline on the High Flange Rear is spaced to 44mm for the fixed cog, and 48mm for the freewheel. spoke holes are chamfered to reduce stress on the head and elbow of the spoke.

The Love Lever is a lightweight long-pull brake lever designed for two-finger or three-finger operation and easy adjustment. The design balances comfort and weight without feeling flimsy in your hand. The Compact fits two fingers and the 2.5 fits three. The Love Lever Compact has a lever blade that is about 20mm shorter than the 2.5 model. These levers are compatible with all long-pull cable operated brakes. We recommend them for use with our Motolite brakes, but they will work well paired with any v-brake, long-pull mechanical disc brake, (like our Klamper), or any other long pull brake. For a short pull brake lever see our Canti Lever. These levers are machined in house to exacting specifications. The pivot features a dual sealed cartridge bearing for the smoothest, stiffest brake lever you will ever use. Like all our components, these will be serviceable for a lifetime. A 5mm set screw in the side of the lever perch allows you to adjust the reach, setting the distance from the bar to the lever to fit your hands. Barrel adjusters are included for fine-tuning your brakes and their oversized design and smooth shape makes it easy to adjust them by hand, even wearing thick winter gloves. Love Levers are one of our perennial best sellers, and we believe you’ll love the action and the ergonomics of these beauties.
