About Hammer & Howl

An online shop for the hard-to-find drivetrain components.

Hammer & Howl is a small business in Seattle, Washington, run by me, Chad Brandon. I started the shop for riders who have a hard time finding exactly the parts they need, in a reasonable time frame, and at a fair price.

That is the whole idea for now: curate a collection of the best components, stock them here in the US so they ship fast, and describe them honestly, with full specifications and compatibility on every product page, so you can be confident that the part you order will fit your build. Hammer & Howl is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry, so you can rest assured your parts are genuine and covered by the manufacturer warranty.

I have plenty of ideas for where this goes next, including ways to give back to our customers and to the cycling community. For today, as the site gets rolling, it is simply about helping you find great products to build awesome bikes.
