The Top 3 Tools to Get You Ready for The Gralloch
Powered by Prestacycle

Whether you’re racing the UCI event or riding The Stag or The Fawn for the sheer joy of the adventure, preparation is everything. When the gravel gets rough, you’ll want tools that are compact, capable, and race-proven. That’s why we’ve partnered with Prestacycle—to bring you the best gear for the job.

Here are the top 3 tools we recommend to every Gralloch participant:

‍

1. Prestaflator GO

‍

Feel the Freedom of Perfect Tire Pressure

Forget faffing around with mini-pumps and CO2 cartridges. The Prestaflator GO is a rechargeable electric inflator that delivers precise, hands-free inflation at the push of a button. One charge inflates over 7 gravel tyres (700x40c), and it’s tough enough for MTB, road, and everything in between.

Why we love it:

• Auto-stop digital control – dial in exact PSI or BAR
  
  
• USB-C fast charging – ready in just over an hour
  
  
• Eco-friendly – one charge = 7+ CO2 cartridges saved
  
  
• Threaded valve Presta head – locks in hands-free
  
  
• Compact, aluminium housing for durability
  
  

Inflate faster. Ride farther. Worry less.

Precision and Power, in Your Pocket

The TorqRatchet GO is the ultimate compact tool for anyone who values pro-level precision. It’s two tools in one: a high-torque reversible ratchet and a beam-style torque wrench, perfect for installing pedals, adjusting handlebars, or fine-tuning your drivetrain.

Whether you're dialing in cockpit angles before the race or making a roadside fix, this is your go-to torque tool.
