Never used one. Manufacturers are the best source for their specific stuff. Park Tool has general recommendations for alot of things.skully said:OK, how many of you use a torque wrench when working on your bikes?
Where do you get your torque recomendations?
I have a Park torque wrench, and I've only used it once, to bolt together a carbon bar and a carbon faceplate-stem. Did so according to the bar and stem manufacturers recommendations, as Boudreaux would have suggested.skully said:OK, how many of you use a torque wrench when working on your bikes?

Yeah, manufacturer's are usually a good source, however, I haven't had any luck with the "manufacturer" of the carbon stem I bought.boudreaux said:Never used one. Manufacturers are the best source for their specific stuff. Park Tool has general recommendations for alot of things.

Does Park have torque stuff on their website?
A bizillion crank arm installs,and not one hosing or buggering. How can that be??Conniebiker said:.... but on things like crankarms there is no option in my view. It is so easy to undertorque and screw up an arm and so effortless to do it the right way.
Yeah, I've used one on motorcycles and trucks/cars. Connie is lame as usual.You two share the same crutch?biker7 said:lokstah...what are you talking about? Bore-troll, the moron that he is, has never used a torque wrench in his life. Connie you are indeed correct.

Crutch nothin. If the standard is as cheap as 35 bucks and it is good enough for the FAA to mandate I use it on everything that counts at work, why in the name of sense would I not use it for important things on my bikes?boudreaux said:Yeah, I've used one on motorcycles and trucks/cars.

Think about it. The FAA doesn't want planes falling out of the sky. With a bike, it's just your bum and the pavement.And there is no Gov't agency involved.Conniebiker said:Crutch nothin.

It's dialogue Georgie. Wanna buy a used crutch cheap?biker7 said:As if any lucid dialog were possible.

Some day the ISO will wake up and recognize that one. I haven't used a torque wrench on a bike either.cydewaze said:Being part German, I use the good old German all-purpose torque spec... Guddentight.
My bad for not recognizing the redneck usage.biker7 said:di·a·logue or di·a·log
