Product Review
The size is perfect. I had another one which was way too small to store the bacons. And one that was unnecessarily huge. Granite has the amount of space for multiple bacons, and I throw in a valve core, because I can. Fits in the handlebar, regardless of bar ends, and in the crank. I use Shimano 12 speed crank and it's a perfect fit. Just remember that you need a tool to screw it out, so you need a multi tool on you if you want to use it in the handlebars or crank. Well made and well thought out.
Good build quality. Beware if you have carbon handlebars as it did not fit on one side of my bars, probably because carbon handlebars are not completely uniform on the inside. It took a little bit of finagling to get it to stay inside the bar. Tightening the bolt too much compresses the rubber in a way that makes it pop out of the handlebars. You must find a sweet spot how much to tighten so it remains inside.
I have the Hollow tech XT cranks, but the kit was to small to fit. Even with the larger adapter, there was no way it would stay in. I had a feeling that would be an issue, so I wasn't to concerned. If you remove the cap, it's pretty small and light to carry with you. It's about the size of a lipstick.
Nice tool very well made and I’m sure will come in handy someday. I was storing my tire kit in the bottom of my fork using a rubber foot from a crutch which held it in very well. This is lighter and easily carried in bars but beware didn’t fit my Wake bars which are awesome and comfy but easily fit my PNW range bars. So do your homework maybe people will hopefully state the bars they don’t fit in their reviews.
Very concealable , and light , I installed it in the handle bars not the crank and you don't even know it's there its so light. I only gave it 4 stars cause I have not used it yet, but it's only for emergencies so I hope i don't have to use it.
I just had a flat after a crash yesterday, and finally got to use it. Worked great. I needed to use the larger strip of bacon. Fixed the flat fast and easy. Convenient storage and lightweight. The only complaint is that when screwing the pieces back together bacon gets in the way a bit since one piece is off-center when screwing it together. But avoidable if you screw the rasp end in last.
Just got the kit and I was impressed. Looks great and install was easy. Fit in my race face bars. Looks to be good quality. My only downfall is my kit was missing the 4 plugs that the kit was supposed to include.
Uses wasted space in handle bars.
