The Radavist

If you haven’t seen Bryan Buswell’s artwork…yes, you have! He’s made some fantastic posters for Lost and Found Gravel Festival, and he made that epic MARS poster for Ultradynamico featuring the Freman riding a MTB away from a Shai Hulud… and a bunch of other killer art you may or may not have realized was his.

He came up with a super cute and relatable froggies bike camping scene for Paul Component Engineering, so they created these high-quality, 100% cotton American made T-shirts and Nalgene bottles to bring the party with you wherever you go.

Check ’em out at Paul Component Engineering.

Paul and Patrick from Paul Component Engineering explain the what’s and why’s of those new BëP Handlebar End Plugs.

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. Introducing the BEP Handlebar Plugs. They install in drop bars or MTB bars with a 5 mm Allen key and lock into position, never rattling loose…

Paul from Paul Component Engineering is out of control. He has too many bikes. N+1? When is enough, enough? And instead of building up another one, he’s going to build up three!

The classiest Single Speed Dropouts – or “track ends” depending on your worldview – are back! The Paul Component Engineering Single-Speed Dropouts are back! They’re CNC machined from 1018 steel in house in Chico, with knurled self-nesting adjuster knobs and locknuts. These make wheel replacement and alignment a breeze. Sold as a pair for $89 from Paul direct, framebuilders, and Paul’s dealer network!

You can hand these off to a custom framebuilder and have them do their thing, or even retrofit a classic vintage ‘cross or MTB frame with them.

Specs:

• Material: Dropout: 1018 Steel, Screws: Stainless Steel, Knobs: 6061 Aluminum
• Finish: Raw Steel and Aluminum

This is the 8^th year in a row that Sierra Nevada Brewing asked Paul Component Engineering to build them a custom one-off bike, the Sierra Trailblazer, to show at Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, then give it away to raise money for a non-profit. Let’s take a look below!

The days of paying upwards of $1000 for Paul Component Engineering cranks are over with the re-issue of the 100% Pure Cranks today. John’s been riding this “modern” take on a vintage inspired design for a few months now and has an exclusive look at how the cult is alive in Chico…

What’s the difference between short pull and long pull brakes? It’s the most often asked question to Paul Component Engineering‘s tech email and phone line. In this video, Paul and Patrick help make sense of it… and also the funniest explanation of the history of mountain bikes!

Paul Component Engineering loves making products for every rider. So they took its best-selling dual sealed-cartridge bearing CNC-machined Canti Lever, and redesigned the lever blade to sit closer to the handlebar to accommodate people who want a very short reach right out of the box…

PAUL would like to encourage each and every one of you reading The Radavist to take part in the Ride to Work Challenge! Simply download the PDF here, print it out and keep tabs on which days you’ve ridden to work. If you work from home, ride to get a coffee, or out to pick up groceries. Just ride!

If you have a bike with porteur bars, like an old 26″ MTB conversion, scorcher, Rivendell, Crust, or a sweet custom frame, Paul just brought back its Reverse Levers. These are hands down the nicest reverse brake levers on the market. They’re full-machined in Chico, California, ambidextrous between short and long pull, and adjustable cable pull. They’re designed to fit bars with an inner diameter of 19 to 25 mm and come in a variety of finishes.
