Chain Keeper

The Chain Keeper is a guide to keep your chain right where it belongs. 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 chain ring and prevents it from skipping off.

I know, it’s not that big of a deal, but it does c I know, it’s not that big of a deal, but it does come in handy and look real elegant. Our Klamper-inspired topcaps now come in a version with a built-in 5mm spacer. Some carbon fork manufacturers specify it, and sometimes you just wanna keep a touch of extra steerer tube around for adjustments or resale value. Anyways, The Rook is now live on the website! ♟️
We’re SUPER excited about this new trail network o We’re SUPER excited about this new trail network opening just up the mountain from us above Butte Meadows! Two trails are already finished, with 5 or 6 more in the works, and an eventual plan to connect this to the @sierratrails Connected Communities trails. Yeah, this is big! 
  So… we asked @the.scorps if he’d be willing to donate artwork for a fundraiser T-Shirt, and he doodled up this fun drawing of the Colby Mountain Lookout. These are VERY limited edition, so if you want a sweet rare McNally shirt while raising money for a killer trail system in Lassen National Forest, head to our website quick before they’re gone!

It’s no secret our water bottles are made in the U It’s no secret our water bottles are made in the USA by @specialized_custom and it’s also no secret we’re passionate about recycling around here. Well, they just started offering a couple new bottles made entirely from 100% recycled material. While we aren’t crazy about putting more plastic out in the world, it may as well be 100% recycled AND recyclable, so we’re offering this option in our Dune Buggy bottle, in this Teal color. Soooo…. Did this thirst trap of @jxrad trick you into reading this far? ♻️
Happy Friday! Paul designed our first seatpost (th Happy Friday! Paul designed our first seatpost (the “Tall & Handsome”) with 26mm of setback to accommodate Brooks saddles, and while it’s become a cult classic, we’ve had requests for years now for something of the same high quality in a zero offset. We took the extra design time to dial in every feature WE want to see in a simple, reliable, beautiful seatpost, then machined it to our super high tolerances right here in Chico California. Head over to our website and get to know this elegant new family member, it’s in stock and shipping now!
