What occurs when a motorcycle nerd and a machinist cross? They discover like-minded folks and begin an organization like Paul Element Engineering. That being mentioned, the machinist/bike nerds at Paul Comp “geeked out” once more, and launched these new Child Groovy Barrel Adjusters.
These cute and colourful lil’ buggers had been designed with the Klamper in thoughts however will work simply effective on Paul Comp’s Funky Monkey Cable Hangers, Dropper Triggers (examined), Cross Levers, E-Levers, and Thumbies.
These Child Groovy Barrel Adjusters would possibly look somewhat acquainted as they’re a a lot smaller model of the fantastically practical Groovy Barrel Adjusters that you simply discover on the Love Levers and Canti-Levers.
Now, there’s nothing unsuitable with the plastic barrel adjusters that come from the manufacturing facility with all of those merchandise. The Child Groovy Barrel Adjusters are only a enjoyable manner so as to add extra blingy personalization to your steed.
Utilizing the Child Groovy Barrel Adjusters
I’ve put in them on my Klampers, though they don’t seem to be in use proper now (they’ll be again in play quickly), and so they look nice! I’ve additionally been utilizing one on my Dropper Set off for a lil’ over per week, and I discover them easy and straightforward to make use of as anticipated.
The barrels are simply the suitable dimension and are simple to regulate even with gloved fingers… not like the plastic, black barrel adjusters generally.
I don’t learn about you guys, however I’ve all the time most popular the sort of barrel adjuster over the sort that may come on a rear derailleur. They work identical to the Paul Groovy Barrel Adjuster and a lot of the brake levers we’ve all used over the previous a number of many years.
They usually’re, simpler to make use of when cables get tight. Spin the barrel adjuster out or in, and spin the opposite to lock it down.
Additionally, they simply look so rattling customized, particularly the purple Child Groovy Barrel Adjuster on a gold Dropper Set off.
Machined in Chico
Paul Elements machine these lil’ beauties in-house in Chico, California utilizing American milled 6061 aluminum and brass. They do that on their “fancy Doosan Lynx 2100 LSYB CNC Multitasking Heart”. You could suppose that is an terrible lot of labor for one thing as little and unimportant as a barrel adjuster, however for the oldsters at Paul Comp, that is what they do.
California Travis had this to say: “We actually wished this particular form, threading, and locknut that interprets into fast, simple, and dependable on-the-fly cable changes, even with gloves on. We’re machinists and bike nerds. That is what we do!” See… I advised you.
