I never said I don't have a torque wrench, I've just never quite got round to using it, which of course is really stoopid. I've got one, but it's a 1/4" jobby and all my tools/sockets/adaptors are 1/2", or is it 1/2" and eveything else is !/4", ah damn, can't remember. But the point is you're right torque wrenches are a good idea and I should use one.
Don't think that would have solved the carbon to carbon binding problem though and thats what really freaked me out. Anyway I now have a nicely shimmed down USE Alien aero seat post fitted to the Pedal Force which is super lovely and a plastic shim between the post and the seat tube which I'm hoping will prevent binding from occurring again.
