Does anyone have a suggestion for the torque spec of the handlebar clamp on a traditional style quill stem (single bolt). Both stem and bars are alloy, but no torque spec on either. About 6Nm seems to be the point at which I can’t get the bars to slip (rotate). That’s approx what ahead stems I’ve had have suggested but those are 4 (smaller) bolts rather than 1 bigger bolt. Ta!
Thanks that’s good to know. Sounds like I can afford to go tighter before I run the risk of stripping the bolt or crushing anything (these are 26.0mm bars too)
