Our 253rd Collective Reward comes thanks to the team at Paul Component Engineering in Chico, California, who will set up one site supporter with a pair of their impossibly good Klamper brakes. Learn more about this and many other great member prizes here\u2026<\/p>\n

The California-made Paul Klamper brakes are a favorite among our team. Not only are they up there with the best and most powerful mechanical disc brakes available, but they\u2019re also incredibly durable, easy to set up and adjust, and look damn good doing their thing. They are often the finishing touch on many dream builds showcased here on the site, from readers and our crew alike. Logan put some 10,000 miles on a pair while bikepacking around Uganda, Spain, Morocco, and the US, and they were still going strong when he arrived back home. No surprise there.<\/p>\n

Klampers come in a broad range of mount, pull, and color combinations to suit all kinds of bikes and tastes, and they use widely available Avid Elixir\u2013type pads, so replacements are fairly easy to find out on the road. For Collective Reward #253, one randomly selected member of the Bikepacking Collective<\/a> will take home a set of Klampers of their choosing. That\u2019s up to a $662 value for our lucky winner!<\/p>\n

In Nic\u2019s recent review<\/a> of the Klampers, he concluded, \u201cThe Paul Klamper has a storied reputation for a reason. It\u2019s one of the best mechanical disc brakes ever made, and its simple yet powerful design has kept it a viable option over a decade after its initial release. With a few running changes over those years to maintain quality, it\u2019s fair to say Paul has created an all-time component.\u201d We\u2019re thrilled to help one member experience Klampers for themself. And although only one person can win, don\u2019t forget that all of our members have access to an exclusive 10% discount on everything from Paul\u2014the only one of its kind\u2014in addition to savings from 100+ other hand-picked brands.
