Granite’s new RocknRoll TQ torque wrench tool kit is just OK as a torque wrench, but still a solid option for trailside adjustments…
Click to email a link to a friend Granite Design – makers of creative Stash tools & simple Strap solutions – have a new RocknRoll TQ torque wrench tool kit. It’s a compact but not tiny ratchet driver for 1/4″ bits, with the added benefit of a beam-style torque wrench built into the end. Roll it all up in a handy carrying case and it’s small enough to tuck into your pack for rides, strap directly to a bike, or toss in the car for trailhead adjustments. It’s a nice solution, but not perfect.
It’s also not really a new product. We already wrote about this same tool several years back when PrestaCycle first introduced it inBut there is still value in that. In a compact size that you can actually take on a ride, it’ll help prevent significantly over-tightening a bolt on your fancy carbon parts after a trailside readjustment.
Yet, now with the plethora of carbon parts and sensitive torque settings on our bikes, more portable torque solutions are probably a step in the right direction.I’ve had a hard time getting reliable repeatable 4 or 5Nm torque settings when working with the curved white line in the window cutout . But I was never off by more than 1Nm. Close enough that I tended to err a bit lower and not worry about it.
I still benefitted from the speedy ratcheting, though. Bit ratchets speed up a lot of tasks – like installing/removing bottle cages and other accessories in tight spaces. They also offer the ability to easily personalize what 1/4″ bits you prefer. And this one does a great job of giving me the bit I actually need, and the extension that I couldn’t live without. Most, but not all, mini ratchets include some extension.
