The Radavist

Did you see those PAUL Dune Buggy Bandanas that Matt Loomis designed for the brand? Well, the team at PAUL loved them so much that they used the design on new water bottles. Check them out at PAUL.

While our Shop Visit to Squid Bikes was very thorough, it’s hard to beat video walkthroughs, and sofa talks, especially when Travis and Paul from Paul Component Engineering have the camera!

PAUL looks at their thumbies and walks you through their use, installation, and everything you wanted to know about these versatile shifter pods.

Patrick gets dusty with is unicorn ice cream cone and unveils the new PAUL WORD fixed hub, or Wacky One-speed Rear Device. These are hubs for fixed gears like a tracklocross bike. Like his tie-dye shirt? Well, PAUL has some new threads too!

Patrick works at Paul and he’s quite the character. In the latest video from their machine shop he explains how the Set N Forget thru-axles are made and how they work!

Brown is one of those colors that is very inconsistant to anodize, often times resulting in a complete scrap of the product run. Most companies won’t work with it, including PAUL, and would rather spend their valuable time making stuff that people can buy! So when our friends at SimWorks hit up PAUL to make a special edition engraved and brown-anodized run of parts, they weren’t exactly stoked to go through with it, but the result is well worth it!

Watch this video to find out!

If you’ve got a drop bar bike you want to easily convert to a flat bar, these lil jammers are your answer. By using a SRAM TT barcon, or bar end shifter, you can run your 10 or 11 speed road stuff on a flat bar. I wonder if they’re compatible with the MicroShift 12 speed eagle barcons? Hmmmmmm

Edit: they already make a thumb shifter for that!

This is such a magical project and everyone involved put in so much effort to put their best foot forward. It’s such a pleasure to kick off NAHBS weekend with a look at the Sierra Klunker, built with the new limited edition Paul Component Engineering Green parts!. Check out the press release and photos below!

Those of us who remember MTB bar ends, recalls a different era of the sport. Nowadays, bar ends like this make a lot of sense on a flat bar ‘cross or bikepacking rig, especially when you consider the extra cargo capacity of these new Chim Chim MTB bar ends by Paul Component Engineering. To see what I mean, head to PAUL for more information and see two “in the wild” photos below, showcasing their carrying capacity. ;-)

If you ever want to hear meaningful insight into a maker’s mindset, a bike check is a good place to start. Here Paul from Paul Component gives us the rundown on his ECR build.

After their first secret Van Halen-inspired product drop, Paul Component decided to make a run of these wild Van Halen Boxcar stems, as an exclusive offer to readers of the Radavist. They come in 35mm – 110mm, in 0º, 7º, and 15º, and in both 31.8 or 35mm clamp for MTB bars. Check out all the options at Paul and have a great weekend!

This has been in the works for a while. Paul Component Engineering likes to make the best possible product they can when a new item hits their catalog. The team wanted to make the toughest, most precisely machined, most adjustable dropper trigger on the market. This dropper lever has stacked dual sealed cartridge bearings, two different cable clamp options, a barrel adjuster, and a hinged clamp. Machined by Paul Component Engineering in Chico California to the highest tolerances. These are in stock in three finishes, black, silver, or polished, and are in stock now at Paul Component Engineering.
