cheers tester ordere

Can anyone reccomed a decent and cheap torque wrench?

No.

You can have a decent one or a cheap one.

Decent ≠ cheap would be the default answer I'd imagine.

From what I've seen there seems to be one model that is sold for >£50 which everyone and there dog re-badges

Wheelchair = Corima

No.

What's the cheapest you'd reccomend buying?

Saw one advertised in CW £64.99 www.giant-bikes.com I have a Sykes Pikavant but it cost more than twice that. Problem is that making accurate torque wrenches for low values requires a lot more precision than for a typical automotive wrench. I don't think I'd go much below the type here.

I haven't actually used this, but Cyclo tools are usually decent for the budget conscious

My Syntace one is a rebadged Norbar SL0, which is about twice the price and comes with a calibration certificate.

this one is mega cheap

Just spotted this on tumblr

So they have a cog drilled and screwed on where a disc should be, so supported by like 4 bolts. This has got to not be safe right?
Tester?

much bolt

so screw

wOw!

Oh yeah, like that. Making use for the disc rotor mount to make leftie. Looks strong enough to me.

Is that leftie or upside down?

Don't think its upside down.

Good. Point, suppose it could be either..

By Tester's law, bolt on is hella more solid than medieveal threads...

But no good for any use for racing or anything like that I'm guessing. Someone who could put serious power through their drivetrain is surely going to shear 4 small bolts.

Quick question, how wrong is bar ends on riser bars for my xc bike? Not sure why there only seen on flat bars...

I believe Tester's argument was, think of the torque legs can put out, compared to the torque of a hydraulic disc brake...

seriously these things have been around for like 6 years? they are fine with good bolts.

Yeah I had thought about that

Chill bro

Quick saddle change and pedals on. Could do with a silver chain too I reckon

I didn't notice that cog only had 4 bolts not 6. I'm sure someone has done some calcs.

I think the chain suits.

V nice. Black tape to match saddle?
