Ritchey breakaway style frames - what's the risk of over-torqueing the downtube coupling?
I thought the required torque was 4-5nm but it keeps creaking and seem to loosen off (which makes the bike feel a bit noodly later on in rides). I can try more power but don't want to risk any damage. Anyone had this issue before?
