Everyone loves a quickie, especially when you’re trying to get out the door to make the group ride. And the new Granite Design Quickie Pump Head saves precious seconds with a push-on, pull-off design.
The Quickie comes in two versions to fit most floor pumps, one for hoses with a compression nut attaching the head to the hose, and one with a Schrader thread. It can also be used with shop compressors and cordless inflators, too.
The dual port design has distinct ports. One works with Presta and Clik valve stems; just turn the dial from P to C to switch between them. By integrating full Clik Valve compatibility, it benefits from that system’s real-time pressure readings on your pump’s gauge, too.
The other fits Schrader valves, perfect for kids’ bikes, cruisers, strollers, etc.
Once you’ve pumped up your tire, just press the release button on the back to pull it off. The robust die-cast alloy body and dual seals make it a part that’ll last the life of your pump, likely longer. It’s rated for up to 150psi (10.3 bar). MSRP is $42.99.
Granite Outpost Bit Wrench Kit
Also new is the 16-tool Outpost Bit Wrench. Not only does it have all the 1/4″ bits you’re likely to need for a bike (and life in general), the extra-long 188mm (7.4″) handle gives you extra leverage on tight or stuck bolts, perfect for pedals your friend overzealously snugged onto the cranks. It also makes tightening bottle cage bolts a lot easier, too.
All bits are S2 steel, and include:
- Hex: 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 mm
- Torx: T10, T15, T20, T25, T30, T40
- PH2 hillips
- 5mm Flat Head
At just 206g, it’s light enough to throw in a pack (and some in-frame storage pouches). Bits snap into the handle magnetically, and the labeled carrier makes it easy to find the size you need. MSRP is just $26.99.
