Things to know about Granite

As to the when, where and why of its beginnings, Granite likes to keep us in the dark. But it is safe to assume that who we’re dealing with here are formerly frustrated bikers who were so fed up with pushing their bike home after suffering a flat. But dragging a bagful of tools out to the wilderness didn't do the trick either. Somewhere between the flowy trail and a spectacular slope, between above mentioned flat and a broken chain, someone must have had the genius idea to use all those nooks and crannies a bike offers to stash tools. The outcome is one of the most popular series of bike tools going by the telling name of STASH.

Granite’s Multitools

Granite’s tool kits STASH come in several varieties, you can choose between the chain-saving STASH Chain Tool, the flat-remover STASH Flat Tire Repair Kit and the multipurpose Multi Tool Kit. Depending on which kit you pick, you get everything you need to fix your bike-problems in the size of a longish wine cork. Why this shape? The answer is easy – the tool kits disappear in the ends of your handlebar and function as a stopper that seals the opening. No one will know it’s there, even you can forget you’ve put it there, until its big time comes and you need it to save the day. All you have to do now is to decide which tool kit will be your future biking companion. Fortunately your handlebar has two ends, so you can treat yourself to two sets.

Carrying some extra tubes always is a good idea, but what if you do not like stuffing your pockets with them and carrying a backpack isn’t your idea of fun either? Granite would like to put in their two cents – don’t worry, they are not suggesting you built in a carrier rack. Why not strap everything that does not fit into a handlebar to the frame? Rockband Stash Solutions will not harm your finish, but the soft velcro straps will tie extra tubes, tire inflators or energy bars to almost any spot on your frame. Why not pack a set of Talon Tire Levers while you’re at it? Hooked together they double function as quick-link pliers and help you to get your bike back on the road within minutes. Of course then you will need some air, Granite has thought of that too, and offers a tiny tire inflator named Punk. Sounds like you should take that backpack, after all? Not to worry, Punk is Rockband-ready. It features a loop that fits right around the velcro straps, you then strap your package to your bike and you’re all set.
