Product Story

If you’re designing a bike frame that uses rim-brakes, you may as well lock it into the best rim brakes in the world! These classy canti brake bosses allow you to forego the stainless steel pivots that all of our rim brakes use, allowing the brake arms to pivot directly on the boss itself for an extra clean, super simple aesthetic.

These are sold as a Pair (“One wheel worth”)

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.

The #SierraTrailBlazer is done and on display at @ The #SierraTrailBlazer is done and on display at @seaotterclassic in the @sierranevada beer garden as we speak! Be sure to slide by for a 🍺, check out this wild bike 👀, say hi to our crew🫂, and learn how you can donate to win it (there’s also a link in our bio). The crackled (burned) paint job and shiny new “Pale Ale” green anodized components represent fire and new growth, a phoenix rising from the ashes of the Dixie Fire that burned 1 million acres in the northern Sierra. This ties into our fundraiser for @sierratrails who are revolutionizing a new method of integrating fire resiliency and community protection into their years of experience building and maintaining recreational trails in Northern California. Head over to @theradavist for full photos and a detailed breakdown of this ultimate #LostSierra hardtail!
Wait, is this an April Fools Day joke or not?! Is Wait, is this an April Fools Day joke or not?! Is Paul really weird enough to release square taper cranks in 2025? Yup, our classic 100% Pure Cranks are back, but this time with self-extracting crankbolts, 3-Bolt Direct Mount chainring interface, and JIS square-taper bottom bracket compatibility. These are machined from super strong American milled 2024 aluminum, which means we can remove a lot of material for an elegant crankarm, without sacrificing strength and stiffness. The square taper bottom bracket interface means you can fine-tune your chainstay clearance, while the 3-Bolt direct-mount chainring means you can choose from a wide range of brands, teeth, and offsets, for a combination of killer Q-Factor and chainline. Available on our website or from your favorite local bike shop now! (Unless this is actually an April Fools Day Joke, I’m still not sure.)
