    Torque Wrench

    Hi there Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced torque wrench with a good nm range but with a smallish head that allows you to tighten the seat post clamp without actually touching and marking the seat post. Thanks in advance J

    Torque wrench for a stem?

    If looking to lower the stem on my bike down the steerer, should I be sure to use a torque wrench, as opposed to tightening solely via an Allen key?

    Torque Wrench

    Hi Guys I am installing pedals and the user guide is saying 34 newton m but my torque wrench only goes up to 24. Does that mean I need to buy a new torque wrench with a higher ranger or is there a way of using my current one and not over/under tightening?
