Its compact, multi-purpose designs—beginning with the Prestaflator and now including patented torque tools—are built for everyday riders as well as professional mechanics. The company also supplies its technology internationally and to other cycling brands.
Stan'sStan’s makes tubeless bicycle technology, from the liquid sealant that replaces inner tubes to purpose-built rims, wheels and trail-side repair tools.
