  • fnck me, what is it with torque wrenches??
    i have been tightening my own nuts and bolts by hand for 20 odd years, and never ever have snapped/rounded/ruined one

    i know what you mean, but i have a fancy-schmancy carbon geared bike now, and can't face hearing the carbon crack or splinter as i over-tighten.

    for a while i was just using the ritchey torque key, which is a great cheap bit of kit, but is set to 5NM only, so only good for certain small bolts.
