Who can tell me about Box Components?

[Drewson]

Have just bought a pair of box pedals from Juice and I have a pair of brake levers.... Nice machine work....

Anyone know what other components they made and a little history of the firm?

They're difficult to research with a name like "Box"!!

Cheers,

Drew

They were made by he guy who created Onza .

( Costello ? )

Yep, was a company set up by Dan Sotelo, original Onza founder, made some cool brake levers, v-brakes and pedals if I remember correctly

Box Components still exists and is run by Toby Henderson (ex-Iron Horse racer / THE founder), it appears to be an offshoot brand of Promax...

I should know more to be honest.....I search 'juice' and 'box' most evenings.....

I dont think he made V brakes .

there are some cheap looking Box v brakes and levers about but they are just a plastic copy .

A mate of mine at work has raved about their BMX stuff from back in the day, brake levers I think mostly.

I think they might have been produced by Promax just to keep the brand alive.....my cool comment only applied to the brake levers, not a fan of clipless pedals in general either

Cheers folks, wasn't aware of the pedals until i saw a pair for sale....looking forward to receiving them....

The levers are nice to look at but i find them a bit bulky for use.....shame as they are very nicely made....

I'm aware of the modern "Box Components" kit that is produced for BMX....looks like nice stuff!!

Nowhere near as nice as the levers. Maybe not even the same manufacturer?

They did indeed produce v-brakes, levers and pedals. Brakes and levers were produced at 2 different price points, a nice CNC version which is sexy as hell and forged versions designed to mimick the high end versions. Levers had a nice wide blade, probably the widest I have come across and a nice feel. Levers also featured 2 places to fit the cable barrel,one for cantilever and the other for vee brakes.
