<\/p>\n

Chico, California, is the sunny, bright home of Paul Component Engineering<\/a>… where they’ve just announced the launch of their shiny new NOQR Seat Collar<\/a>. This beautiful, no-nonsense seat collar is a perfect solution for all those off-road bikers wanting a Paul seatpost collar, but not wanting or needing their fancy quick release clamp.<\/p>\n

Face it, we’re getting older every day. And droppers just make life easier for all off-road cyclists. So, why not get a snazzy Paul clamp to hold your dropper in place as you ride!<\/p>\n

The new bolt-on Paul seat collar is designed with dropper post compatibility in mind. <\/p>\n

Cyclists have been requesting a bolt-on version of Paul’s Quick Release Seat Collar for years. But, there were a lot of seat collars on the market, so the Paul Comp crew didn’t take them too seriously.<\/p>\n

…until now.<\/p>\n

With the rising popularity of dropper posts, Paul started thinking more about the seat collar idea. Sometimes, a seat collar that is too tight can bind your dropper post – keeping it from both dropping and returning smoothly. <\/p>\n

True story, I’m sure many of you know what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n

Protip: don’t over-torque your seat clamp.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, to combat this issue, Paul Comp designed their new NOQR Seat Collar that is deeper – offering more uniform clamping distribution. <\/p>\n

Just enough to keep your dropper from slipping. But now offering more evenly dispersed clamping force. This is a great defense against that dreaded ‘dropper-bind’.<\/p>\n

…Convex for the Win…<\/h3>\n

The convex back of the NOQR’s “floating button” is the secret to the all-alloy clamp’s evenly dispersed clamping force. <\/p>\n

It avoids pinching or binding at a lighter weight than a steel barrel. Not to mention that lil’ sucker is replaceable if damaged. But really, it also helps the collar stand out with that famous Paul Component aesthetic.<\/p>\n
