PAUL Components Klamper Disc Brake Caliper

The Klamper is designed specifically for short-pull cable actuation. It works best with road-style drop bar levers or short-pull mountain bike levers, but it is not compatible with long-pull mountain bike levers.

Yes, the Klamper is designed to be ambidextrous. It functions perfectly as either a front or rear brake caliper, provided your frame or fork uses a post-mount interface.

Mechanical disc brakes like the Klamper are generally easier to service than hydraulic systems. You will need to periodically adjust the pad clearance as they wear down using the integrated adjusters, and you can easily replace the pads when necessary.

The Klamper is designed for a post-mount interface. While it includes the high-quality Kool Stop pads, you will need to ensure you have the appropriate post-mount adapter for your specific rotor size and frame/fork configuration.

While hydraulic brakes typically offer more raw power and self-adjusting pistons, the Klamper provides a distinct, tactile lever feel and mechanical simplicity that many riders prefer for touring, bikepacking, or gravel riding where field repairs are a priority.
