ANDERS BROSTE Lead (and only) EngineerTo me a bicycle is freedom to go, freedomto think, and freedom to achieve. I ride because
I love it and for no other reason. Ive alwaysloved xing bikes, and now I design bikes andbike parts, which is a dream come true. I loveProblem Solvers because necessity is themother of invention: creativity at its nest.
And weve always been about re-purposingand reusing our bike stuff, which was greenbefore green was cool. Oh, and I dont likethe idea of electronic shifting
TEAM PROBLEM SOLVERS
CHRIS DUERKOP General ManagerMy belly can attest: I like messing about with bikes andparts and their conguration more than I actually rideem. Im widely regarded (by my mom and dad) as anexpert basement bike mechanic. I watch far too manyhome improvement shows, I drink too much beerof poor quality, I dont wear workshop-appropriatefootwear and I sometimes use 25.4mm stem clamps
with 26.0mm handlebars like its no big deal.
BEN OLIVER Sales & Customer ServicePeople call me BenO. Ive worked in the cycling industrymy entire adult life as a mechanic, both in shops andfor different road cycling teams. Im also one of those
A-holes who thinks the bicycle really is a solution tomany of the worlds ills, if we could just get more peopleriding them. Thats whats so great about working forProblem Solverswe help people to get on their bikesby making wacky stuff that makes other things workeven when theyre not supposed to.... in a way its like
were crusaders for world peace.

Accessory Mounts
Brake Stud Light MountsDuring a brief visit to Calhoun Cycle in Minneapolis, Greg (sales guy andidea man) asked, Hey, why dont you guys do a light mount for V-brakestuds? To which I quickly responded, I dont know. Well Greg, ask andye shall receive. This pair of mounts attaches to your brake studs to providea medium-height light position. Itll work with or without the brakesinstalled. 22mm diameter, black, pair.LT0901

Bottom Bracket Stuff
Eccentric 46 Bottom BracketThe E46 provides a singlespeed conversion option for modern frames.In recent years, lots of manufacturers chose to build frames with 46mmdiameter bottom bracket shellsworking around PressFit 30 bottombrackets. The 30 refers to the crank spindle size, 30mm in diameter.But heck, theres still plenty of good old 24mm spindle cranks (ShimanoHollowtech II, RaceFace X-Type, etc.) out there. This got us to thinkin(dangerous, we know), most of these modern frames come with verticaldropouts, and theres no clean singlespeed option.
So we designed the E46 to t into those 46mm bottom bracket shells, butinstead of PressFit 30 cranks, the bearings welcome 24mm spindle cranks.When its installed, you get 16mm of fore-to-aft adjustment to properlytension your chain.CR0098

Bottom Bracket Stuff
Abnormal 46 Bottom BracketThe A46 combines normally incompatible cranks and frames, accepting24mm cranks and tting inside 46mm diameter BB shells (frames designedaround PressFit 30 BBs). The good news (for you) is that your old cranksarent obsolete! The bad news (for crankmanufacturers) is that your old cranksarent obsolete!

Cable DoublerWe make two Cable Doublers. The rst allows you to control two brakes withjust one lever. The second allows you to control one brake with two levers.Commonly used in adaptive cycling, the Doublers are great because youcan use them with any type of cable-operated brake system.
BR3341 1:2 (Pulls 2 brakes with 1 lever)
BR3342 2:1 (Pulls 1 brake with either of 2 levers)

Sheldon Fender NutsMounting fenders to bikes with road calipers is a real pain in the arse.Fickle creatures, the calipers become difcult to adjust once the fenderstab is stuck on the backside. Enter the late Sheldon Brown. One of our trueheroes, Sheldon gave us the idea for the Sheldon Fender Nut. Basically,the Sheldon nut replaces your calipers brake nut, but also contains threadsfor standard M6 bolts. This allows you to install and remove the fenderswithout messing with your brakes.

Travel AgentThis fancy doo-dad increases the cable pull of short-pull road leversso theyll work with long-pull brakes (like V-brakes or mechanical discbrakes). What? Road and mountain together?

CogsStamped singlespeed cogs are inexpensive, but tend towear a groove into your freehub bodys spline. Cogs
with thicker proles tend to be pretty expensive, sowhen they wear out youre stuck buying a new one.Wouldnt it be great if you could have a little of both?Our cogs have no splines, but they easily mount to our splined Cassette CogCarrier (CCC). That way, you get the broad contact patch of the CCC alongwith inexpensive cog replacements. Heres the kicker: the hole-patternfor the cogs ts on to 6-bolt disc rotor mounts. So if youve always wantedip-op xed/free hub for off-roadin, youve got it.

Derailleur & Shifting Things
Direct Mount AdapterWe initially developed this adapter for standard mountain bike frameswith 68/73mm-wide bottom bracket shells, but quickly realized the needwas much greater for the fat bike market, where the 100mm wide bottombrackets make front derailleur applications a little difcult. So we did both:our Direct Mount Adapters clamp around the seat tube to allow for the useof Shimano high direct-mount front derailleurs on frames with either 68/73or 100mm wide bottom brackets.

Derailleur & Shifting Things
Cross ClampOur Cross Clamps mount to your seat tube to make your top-routed cablescompatible with bottom-pull road derailleurs. Whaa? Well, you wanna racecross, right? But cross frames have top-routed cables, requiring a top-pullfront derailleur. All the good, light components tend to be coopted fromroad groups, which have bottom-pull-only derailleurs. Lots of cross frameshave a mount for a pulley already integratedthe Cross Clamp allows youto do this with any frame. Get it?

Derailleur Hanger Plug
Weve seen all those xed-gear conversions in thewild with the derailleur hanger just sitting therelookin ugly. Enter the Derailleur Hanger Plug.Its stainless (which is nice). The cool part: the4mm hex broach is on the inside of the derailleurhanger, so you get a smooth, nished lookinstead of an empty hole. Better yet, itll keepgrit and grime from mucking up the threads.FS0921
Derailleur & Shifting Things
Universal Derailleur HangerThe Universal Hanger should be in everyones saddlebags. If your existingderailleur hanger busts, strips or is totally wonky, the Universal Hangerreplaces the drive-side nut on your quick-release skewer so you can get themajority of your gear range back. This little guy is absolutely essential fortouring or epic mountain biking.FS0920
