Ever since Paul Component introduced its Quick Release Seat Collar years ago, a continuation of the original Paul Component product, folks have been requesting a bolt-on version. But with so many other seat collars on the market, the small Chico, California-based manufacturer didn’t initially take the requests too seriously. Well, they finally made one. Introducing the NOQR seat collar ($79.95).
Since the advent of dropper posts, they’ve started thinking about this request more often. There really is a need these days for a seat collar with a deeper, more uniform clamping distribution: enough to keep your dropper post from slipping in the frame, yet with a large, evenly distributed clamping force to avoid the dreaded “dropper-binding”. The convex back of the “floating button” design evenly distributes clamping force, avoids pinching or binding, is lighter than a steel barrel, is replaceable if damaged, and nicely follows the simple Paul Component aesthetic.
