Technical Information

  • Clamp Diameter
    31.8mm ↓

    31.8 is common handlebar size, often found on modern lightweight road and gravel handlebars. It is measured in the center of the bars where the stem attaches.

  • Material
    6061 Aluminum
  • Weight
    140g
  • Finish
    Anodized or Polished
  • Anodized Color
    Black, Purple or Silver
  • Cable Pull
    Short Pull or Long Pull ↓

    The Cross Lever's pivot can be placed in two different positions giving it the leverage of a short pull or long pull brake lever.

    Short pull brake levers have less leverage than long pull brake levers and are intended only for use with short pull brakes such as side pull caliper brakes, cantilever brakes, brakes and mini-v brakes.

    Long pull brake levers are intended only for use with long pull brakes such as linear pull brakes, v-brakes and cable-actuated disk brakes.

Product Story

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.

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.

This lever is currently available in only 31.8mm clamp diameter.

Introducing the BËP. It’s just a handlebar plug Introducing the BËP. It’s just a handlebar plug, right? Sure, but when the machinist bike nerds at PAUL start 
designing, prototyping, (obsessing), and testing a project, even a simple bar plug can end up at 
NASA-level standards of tolerance, function, and reliability. 
We think we’ve arrived at the highest quality handlebar plugs in the world. Cheap rubber and 
plastic construction were never good enough. 100% CNC machined aluminum expanding-
wedge construction means that once tightened properly, they’re NEVER falling out or coming 
loose.

New bike camping froggy shirts and they are SUPER New bike camping froggy shirts and they are SUPER soft high quality US made 100% cotton, garment-dyed using a vintage pigment-dye process, then printed using a water based ink, so even the the ink itself has a soft touch and is breathable. So stoked on this artwork by @hurrydive and this might be the nicest t-shirt we’ve ever used. 🤌
Since we’re bringing back framebuilding parts, w Since we’re bringing back framebuilding parts, we figured we may as well make another batch of Permanent Pivots. These elegant CNC machined stainless steel brake bosses allow you to remove the pivots from any PAUL rim brakes, and mount your brakes directly to the boss for a super clean, simple aesthetic. These have been very popular when framebuilders are designing a bike around Racer and Racer-M brakes, which would be locked into PAUL brakes anyways, but you can also use them for any of our Canti and V brakes. Available on the website now!
It’s been many years since we’ve offered these It’s been many years since we’ve offered these single-speed/track dropouts, but we now have a limited run of 100 pairs available for those of you building 10mm axle singlespeed/track frames. The knurled self-nesting adjusters and locknuts make it super easy to center your wheel and dial in chain tension, then put the wheel right back where it belongs after re-installing it. Available on our website now!
Big thanks to everybody that stopped by to see us Big thanks to everybody that stopped by to see us at @seaotterclassic! The #SierraTrailblazer will be at the @sierranevada gift shop in Chico until we bring it with us to the Wildflower Century, so take a peek if you’re in town. Don’t forget you can donate to win this wicked hardtail via the link in our bio until April 24th.
