After previewing some tools at an event in Bali, Indonesia, Granite Design was kind enough to send out their latest tools for testing. Right out of the box, we were impressed with Granite’s ingenuity, as each product seems to carry a specific and well thought out function. Stay tuned for a full review, but in the meantime, here’s a run-through on the latest tools from Granite Design.
Perhaps the most intriguing product is the ‘Stash’ Multi-Tool. A steerer tube storage solution, that doesn’t require tapping threads into your fork (thus preserving its warranty). The Stash tool is lightweight, and has a slim, compact design.
The multi-tool itself seems easy to use, and each tool bit moves with some friction, so as not to have another bit move into your way whilst tightening a bolt.
For the additional tools you may need out on the trail, Granite Design formulated two options that stow away within the handlebar. One being a chain tool, with a spot to store your spare link, and also a tire plug kit, with room for extra plugs.
The stand has an adjustable height via one allen key, and both the legs, and the peg for the axle quickly fold out of the way for storage.
An extremely lightweight design, combined with compatibility for nearly any bike with a hollow crankset, makes the Hex stand a great option to keep in the car for trailside, or race weekend repairs.
The included carrying case allows for safe storage and easy transportation.
Stay tuned for our full review on the new tools from Granite Design.
