Manufactured by Enduro they use 52100 High Carbon Chromium Alloy Races with heat treating followed by cryogenic treatment. The balls are Grade 3.
Paul Components bearings feature two rubber seals which ride in a grooves machined into the bearing to prevent contamination.

This stem was designed from the ground up to be stiff, strong and pretty darn light too. The rounded box shape is some 25% stiffer than the competition and after extensive real world and machine testing, proven this to be the best combination of these three principles as well as one damn strong stem!
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. All screws are high strength stainless steel with the popular T25 head. Made in Chico, California with US sourced 2024 aircraft alloy.

Center Mount Racer and Racer Medium brakes use a special Center Mount Brake Pivot instead, which is included with the Racer Center Mount Kit.
Mounted in place of a front derailleur, the Chain Keeper works with single chain ring drivetrains using a narrow chain. The chain block surrounds the chain as it meets the chainring and prevents it from skipping off.
The Chain Keeper clamps on to the seat tube of the frame. The portion of seat tube where the clamp mounts must have a circular profile and a diameter of 28.6, 31.8, or 35.0mm, (+/-0.5mm).
Designed with adjustability in mind, the Chain Keeper can accommodate a range of chainline measurements and chainring sizes. However please note that Chain Keeper may not work with all frames.
Note: This product is not designed for downhill, freeride, or big hit use.
There’s something to be said for the clean looks of bare track handlebars, but riding brakeless can be hazardous on the road. The E-Lever is a tiny brake lever that keeps your handlebars looking clean while providing that extra braking power when needed.
Because of its compact design, the E-Lever has less leverage. For this reason we cannot recommend it for use as the sole method of braking. The E-Lever should only be used in conjunction with other brake mechanisms such as a fixed gear hub or coaster brake.
This lever is available in two clamp diameters to fit road and mountain handlebars. The 23.8mm version fits on the narrower grip section of road handlebars. The 22.2mm version fits standard mountain bike handlebars. There is an integrated barrel adjuster for quick adjustments.

It spins very smoothly due to specially machined bearing bores and high quality precision sealed cartridge bearings.
The Tru Axle Disc Fhub was created as a boon for disc brake users.
Using bearings that are a tad larger than most thru axle hubs, allows them to last and endure any mountain pounding punishment a rider can dish out. They roll on a precision tuned super high strength 7075 axle.

Three clamp sizes are available to work with threaded or threadless headsets. The 1 1/8” Funky Monkey works great with threadless headsets, clamping to the steerer tube between the stem and upper headset bearing.
The 7/8” version clamps onto the lower portion of quill stems installed in threaded headsets, and the 1” inch version can clamp to 1” threadless steerer tubes or 1” quill stems.

Rear version of Funky Monkey can be mounted on a seatpost or on the seat tube. It has a hinged arm to self-align for the proper cable angle.
It also have a barrel adjuster to make brake cable adjustments quick and painless.
These levers are compatible with all long-pull cable operated brakes. They will work well paired with any v-brake, long-pull mechanical disc brake or any other long pull brake.
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 Paul 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.

Vertical dropouts hold the rear axle at a fixed distance from the cranks. Nine times out of ten this doesn't put the rear wheel at the right spot for a single speed drivetrain and 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 is 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. Chainline spacers allow it to work with most hubs. In addition to the pivot spacers, the pulleys have side to side float to quiet slight variances in chainline.
Pulleys are made of extruded and machined aluminium 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.
