Via Canti brakes (black) are very elegant whilst also super strong. They are also lightweight and have great braking efficiency.
Adjustable spring tension and Ashima brake pads make Via's Canti brakes a must have for your bike.

The BLB CNC Front Brake Caliper (black) is an incredibly powerful CNC’d aluminium short reach caliper brake. Exceptionally light and beautifully constructed this caliper is a must have upgrade to your fixie or road bike.
The CNC’d construction helps to reduce weight without compromising the extreme stiffness of the caliper. Features highly adjustable brake pads with replaceable shoes and CNC’d barrel adjuster. The BLB caliper benefits from a recessed Torque bolt that makes rounding out your bolt impossible and massively reduced the chances of it being stolen. Each caliper is supplied with the appropriate key.

Three years of development and Paul think they nailed it. The Paul Components Post Mount Klamper is 100% designed, tested and manufactured in house. Settling on the tried and true ball bearing in a ramp system, Paul refined some details; using bigger balls for smoothness and increased pad travel and hardened steel for where the balls contact the ramps.
Then instead of a plastic thrust washer, they used a flat needle roller thrust bearing. As for the caliper body - Paul beefed up the body where needed and added “fangs” to the inner backing plate all to increase stiffness.
For easy pad adjustability but staying power, detents were designed into the circumference, located with spring ball plungers. The pads are Kool-Stop sintered metallic. We believe this is the best mechanical caliper ever made for a bicycle.

The Paul Components Racer Front Brake (polished) is a centerpull caliper brake with long reach arms and plenty of clearance. Based on the classic Mafac centerpull, the Racer brake has been updated with modern materials and manufacturing. The long reaching arms are CNC machined with a T-shaped profile that makes them very stiff. The widely spaced pivots that make room for larger tires and full-coverage fenders. Kool Stop brake pads with spherical washers and sealed pivots with adjustable spring tension round out this fine brake.
The Racer was originally designed to mount directly to the frame via centerpull brake bosses. When a Braze-On Racer is mounted to these specially positioned centerpull brake bosses the brake is especially stiff, weighs less and has a simple integrated appearance.
It is important to note that the Braze-On Racer does not mount to brake bosses in the standard cantilever position, and it will not work with U-brake bosses. Reach is determined by the height of the centerpull brake bosses, which can be positioned by a framebuilder to match up with 700c, 650b, or 26" wheels.
The Center Mount Racer is a long reach brake, and has 57mm to 67mm of reach (when measured diagonally from the centermount to the top of the brake pad). This works great on frames designed for long reach brakes, and can convert frames designed for 27" wheels to 700c, or 700c to 650b.

Following on the heels of the successful Racer is the leaner, meaner, racier Racer Medium. It's got fantastic stopping power and thanks to the very stiff and short arms it modulates that power better than any brake.
Racer Medium features an additional bridge piece that runs between the pivots and allows the Racer Medium to mount to frames with a single brake mounting hole above the tire. The option is given for a shorter recessed bolt to work with modern frames. In this setup the Racer Medium is a medium reach brake with a range of 47 to 57mm.
The Racer Medium come with all necessary hardware: mounting bolts, straddle wire, cable carrier, and a pair of salmon Koolstop Thinline brake pads.
Between the arms there is enough clearance to fit a 45mm fender and a 32mm wide tire. We think this is a perfect combination for an all-around do-everything road bike if there ever was one. As a bonus, the brake will not pinch the side of the fender like dual pivot brakes do.

The Paul Components Touring Canti brake (silver) is a powerful cantilever brake with a similar design to the Neo-Retro, but with the arms angled upward. This gives the brake a much narrower profile without significantly reducing stopping power.
The narrower profile of the Touring Canti can be desirable if you're riding with large panniers or if your current brakes don't give you enough heel or calf clearance. The arms of the Touring Canti 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 pads' threaded posts.
Like all of Paul Components brakes, the Touring Canti 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.
The Touring Canti comes with pivots pre-greased and with all necessary hardware.
