Paul Components

The Paul Components Racer Braze-On Brake (polished) is a centerpull caliper brake with long reach arms and plenty of clearance. Based on the classic Mafac centerpull, the Racer brake has been updated with modern materials and manufacturing. The long reaching arms are CNC machined with a T-shaped profile that makes them very stiff. The widely spaced pivots that make room for larger tires and full-coverage fenders. Kool Stop brake pads with spherical washers and sealed pivots with adjustable spring tension round out this fine brake.
The Racer was originally designed to mount directly to the frame via centerpull brake bosses. When a Braze-On Racer is mounted to these specially positioned centerpull brake bosses the brake is especially stiff, weighs less and has a simple integrated appearance.
It is important to note that the Braze-On Racer does not mount to brake bosses in the standard cantilever position, and it will not work with U-brake bosses. Reach is determined by the height of the centerpull brake bosses, which can be positioned by a framebuilder to match up with 700c, 650b, or 26" wheels.
The Center Mount Racer is a long reach brake, and has 57mm to 67mm of reach (when measured diagonally from the centermount to the top of the brake pad). This works great on frames designed for long reach brakes, and can convert frames designed for 27" wheels to 700c, or 700c to 650b.

Following on the heels of the successful Racer is the leaner, meaner, racier Racer Medium. It's got fantastic stopping power and thanks to the very stiff and short arms it modulates that power better than any brake.
Racer Medium features an additional bridge piece that runs between the pivots and allows the Racer Medium to mount to frames with a single brake mounting hole above the tire. The option is given for a shorter recessed bolt to work with modern frames. In this setup the Racer Medium is a medium reach brake with a range of 47 to 57mm.
The Racer Medium come with all necessary hardware: mounting bolts, straddle wire, cable carrier, and a pair of salmon Koolstop Thinline brake pads.
Between the arms there is enough clearance to fit a 45mm fender and a 32mm wide tire. We think this is a perfect combination for an all-around do-everything road bike if there ever was one. As a bonus, the brake will not pinch the side of the fender like dual pivot brakes do.

The Rack Adapter is a simple piece of hardware that adds threaded mounting posts to our brake pivots. Small front or rear racks can mount to these posts for a strong connection and integrated appearance.

Rack Adapters replace the brake bolts that threads into the center of Paul's 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 9/16 inch wrench is used in place of a 5mm hex wrench for tightening the pivot.

Please note that Paul Components Rack Adapters are not compatible with Racer or Racer M brakes.

Each Axle Kit contains an axle, Adjuster Ring, Axle Nut or Axle plug, and optional Axle Spacer. With the addition of a pair of Bearings and Axle Bolts, you'll have everything you need to fully overhaul a hub.

Bolt-On front axles have threaded ends to accept Axle Bolts, but the bolts are not included. Bolt-On rear axles do not include Axle Bolts.

This kit is for rear High Flange Track hub.

100% Pure Crank from Paul Component Engineering. Strong, elegant & classy.

Paul Components cranks take advantage of the narrower chain stays found on road frames, and the 44mm chainline of Paul Components High Flange hubs.

The Paul components Royal Flush Crankset (black) use a specially designed interlocking chain ring/crank interface. Four 7075 aluminium chain ring bolts with T25 Torx heads bolt through the chain ring and into the reinforced spider on the crank arm.

The crank arms are machined from 2024 aluminium, a very strong and stiff material and are available with 165mm arms.

The chain rings are machined out of 6.3mm thick aluminium plate; very sturdy. Wider teeth designed only to work with 1⁄8” chains which prolongs their life span.

Miss thumb shifters? Converting a drop bar bike to flat bars? These easily transform bar end (aka barcon or TT) shifters into thumb shifters. The shifters are not included, but are readily available in 8 through 11-speed versions, and many have an option for friction-shifting.

Thumbies bring back the thumb shifting of old, and we think it makes shifting more precise and smoother. These feel much better in our opinion than trigger or twist shifters.

Thumbies have a hinged clamp for an easy installation and fit handlebars with a diameter of 22.2mm or 31.8mm. The 22.2 models fit mountain bike handlebars and the 31.8 mount to the stem clamp area of a drop bar. The clamp is raised up to give clearance for hydraulic brake levers.

They have a shifter mounting boss that fits Shimano bar end shifters and most Shimano downtube shifters.

Paul's SRAM Shifter Adapter allows you to mount any under-bar trigger shifter to a 31.8mm drop bar, so you can run the super wide range MTB drivetrains (such as Eagle) on the latest breed of go-anywhere/dirt-touring/camping/monster-cross/adventure/get-lost drop-bar bikes.

Machined with care from 6061 aluminium in Chico, California.

The Paul Components Stem Cap Light Mount is a great way to mount a light, computer, power meter, or GPS unit right in the centre of your handlebar and stem. The Stem Cap Light Mount is machined from 6061 aluminium and is anodized.

Designed to replace the top cap of a threadless stem, this light mount provides a perch for accessories that would normally mount on the handlebars. This is especially useful if your bars are already crowded by grips, brake levers and shifters.

Like the stem cap it replaces, the Stem Cap Light Mount comes with a screw for headset adjustment.

The Paul Components Tall and Handsome seat post (black) isn’t the lightest seat post ever made, though it may be among the easiest to use and nicest looking.

Like all Paul Components products it’s built to the highest standards for function and ease of use.

The Tall & Handsome has a generous setback of 26mm, perfect for the shorter rails of Brooks saddles. If you do not like setback in your seat post then this may not be your first choice, but if you ride a Brooks saddle that you can't get quite far enough back you'll love this seat post.

The head and shaft are made from a special high strength 2024 aluminium alloy. The shaft is precision ground to 27.2mm and the head is machined separately before being screwed and bonded into the shaft.

The two bolts sit on spherical washers that allow them to pivot and self align to the cradle. The clamp can be adjusted to tilt the saddle's nose up or down with a range of roughly 15 degrees, and precise angle adjustments are made by loosening one screw and tightening the other.

Position is adjusted by loosening both screws an equal amount and moving the saddle. Because of use of two screws slippage is eliminated.
