Straz Components® Acquires Hold Fast Cycling

WOLFEBORO, NH - June 29, 2026 - Straz Components, a New England-based manufacturer of innovative cycling tools and accessories, is proud to announce their acquisition of Hold Fast Cycling, a move that unites two brands built on craftsmanship, practical innovation, and a shared passion for cycling.

Straz Components began as a solution to a problem that every tubeless rider knows well: the messy process of adding tire sealant. That solution was the Straz Sealant Funnel: a user-friendly tool designed to make bike maintenance clean and simple. Since then, the company has expanded its product lineup with additional workshop essentials, including valve core removers, while continuing to develop thoughtfully-engineered products for cyclists and bike shops. Straz Components has quickly built a global reach, all while prioritizing their relationships with the independent shops that keep local cycling communities thriving. 

Hold Fast Cycling shares that same spirit. Founded by a fellow New England cyclist, the company has built a loyal and wide-spread following by offering premium components that riders trust. Hold Fast founder, Pete MacLeod, chose Straz Components to carry on his brand because of their common values and high standards. “Tim Straz is a like-minded small business owner who shares a similar passion and enthusiasm. He has also been a loyal customer who believes in the Hold Fast product line.” 

Straz Components will now offer the complete Hold Fast Cycling product line, including its premium valve stems and tubeless tape; Tim Straz is eager to take on this new endeavor. "Pete built Hold Fast on trust and an eye for quality. We've built Straz Components by creating innovative tools that solve real problems for cyclists. Bringing those two approaches together felt like a natural fit, and we're honored to continue serving the customers and dealers who have supported Hold Fast from the beginning."

As Straz Components looks ahead, the company remains committed to developing innovative, rider-driven products while preserving the trusted service and carefully curated product selection that Hold Fast Cycling customers have come to expect. This acquisition represents a shared commitment to helping cyclists spend less time in the workshop and more time doing what they love.
