IT says 4nm max. Paste won't do anything as it only clamps just at the top, it's a crap design.
It is a poor design and I had some grief initially, but as Tstr says: "torque by the book".
I tried three different torque wrenches, with three different results.
If your wrench has a broad range, then consider something more specific from a recognised torque-boss, rather than a something rebranded from a bike-boss.
Just stick a bit of wood under it or get a Real Man™ to clamp it for you. :P
Used carbon paste on it? Maybe you're too fat for a Cervelo? ;)
