Paul Neo-Retro Brake Black
Description
The Short Pull Neo-Retro is a wide-profile cantilever brake with a design based on the geometry of the famous Mafac Tandem brake. Where the Neo-Retro differs from its classic heritage is in its modern materials and adjustability.
The arms of the Neo-Retro are machined from lightweight 6061 aluminum. Their T-shaped cross section prevents the brake from flexing too much under load.
The brake pads mount to slots in the arms that allow for vertical positioning. The toe-in and angle can be fine-tuned thanks to the spherical washers on the brake pad threaded posts.
The long arms give the Neo-Retro lots of mechanical advantage and supreme mud clearance. However, for smaller frames and those with panniers, we will often recommend our narrower Touring Canti brake.
Like all of Paul brakes, the Neo-Retro has a sealed pivot mechanism. Rubber seals and a stainless steel bushing keep the brake arms turning smoothly no matter what you’re riding through. The spring tension can be adjusted in both pivots to center the brake and to adjust the strength of the return swing.

Yokozuna Motoko Road Disc Brake, Front - Black POST MOUNT
Hydraulic brake performance without the complexities of full hydraulic brakes. A great option for touring cyclists who've gotten stuck out in the boonies with a leaky brake line. But high performance enough for CX, road race and gravel events.
By sticking with a cable system you not only keep reliability, but you don't need a dedicated hydraulic brake lever. You can use your old Dura Ace brifters.
Premium compressionless cables, IS mount hardware and 160mm stainless steel rotors included. (If your bike can't handle our stout compressionless housing, you can run standard brake housing too)
- Compatible with cable-actuated Road Brake Levers
- Closed Hydraulic System (Mineral Oil)
- Includes Reaction Compressionless brake cable set for superb response
- Dual Piston pad action
- Simple one knob pad adjustment
- Caliper weighs only 145 grams.$302.82 (RRP)$302.82 (RRP)$302.82 (RRP)$302.82 (RRP)$302.82 (RRP)$302.82 (RRP) -

The Ultimo’s main difference from the Motoko is that the Ultimo has four pistons (vs. 2), larger pads, and slightly lighter. The rotor is also equipped with removable aluminum heat sinks.

Three years of development and we think Paul nailed it, this is arguably the best mechanical caliper ever made for a bicycle. It’s available in Long Pull, Short Pull, and Campagnolo pull.
- Tried and true ball bearing in a ramp system.
- Bigger balls for smoothness and increased pad travel.
- Hardened the steel where the balls contact the ramps.
- Three hardened steel pins to locate the pad actuator.
- Added “fangs” to the inner backing plate for stiffness and beefed up outer caliper body.
As always, allow a couple short rides to bed in the pads. Around the 3rd ride, these brakes really start to BITE!$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$641.00 (RRP)$641.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$641.00 (RRP)$641.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP)$495.00 (RRP) -

The Canti Lever is a short pull brake lever for use with short pull brakes like cantilevers, center pull brakes, and side pull caliper brakes.
These levers are machined by Paul in Chico California to exacting specifications. The pivot features a dual sealed cartridge bearing for the smoothest, stiffest brake lever you will ever use.
Like all Paul components, these will be serviceable for a lifetime.
Recommend for use with Paul Racer, Neo-Retro, Touring Canti, Mini-Moto or Short Pull Klamper brakes, but they work well paired with any road caliper brake, cantilever brake, or other short pull brake. For a long pull brake lever, see the Love Lever Compact or Love Lever 2.5.$405.00 (RRP)$405.00 (RRP)$501.00 (RRP)$405.00 (RRP)$405.00 (RRP)$405.00 (RRP)$405.00 (RRP)
