Just in case you've got the poster on ignore, this from the last page should give you all the answers.

Interesting. But ngl I x1.5 it.

After all that, I'm still going to dare asking if I should bother using my torque wrench, which was a cheap planetX one, years ago; the calibration (if this is even a reliable notion on a basic tool like this) is now presumably off... I bought it because for the first time then I had forks with a carbon steerer and I "wanted to be sure"... But was that an illusion (I.e. no way the tool is accurate enough anyway) or did I still hit an acceptable/safe range (so it was worth the trouble)?
I'm sure this has been answered before, but while we're on the subject...
I also have a really old wrench (pictured), purchased at a flea market, which I've used to install GXP cranks, to "manufacturer's recommendations"... Again, was I anywhere close?
