Hi all,

I just added FMBCHs and TC 1 top caps to the site in a new color - gray. It might be my favorite to date, and will look great on a wide range of bikes! Keep sending in photos — I love seeing them.

I also brought in yellow for o-rings to complete the primary color offerings.

Casually re-branding all the time, kind of. I try not to take this branding stuff too seriously. I just like to make stuff. It’s fun when it looks nice. These are the new tins.

You can always look to Sim Works USA, Crust Bikes, Circles in Japan, and soon - BlueLug(!) for Shovel Research products in addition to my website. Thanks for all the support!

Restocking soon—

  • silver with gold pulley

  • black with gold pulley

  • one new color combo!

I am always open to questions or comments or product suggestions, so feel free to get in touch!
