So this brings the question of how tight is tight enough. If the bolt is'nt marked with a correct torque is there a way to workout what is should be?
My stem to forks bolts need 6nm (from memory) but the stem to bars have no markings. Have I already over tightened them, and am I in for a @ColinJ like failure?
Personally I use a torque wrench for everything and tighten bolts the same rating as similar bolts. Haynes type manuals have lots of torque settings. Bikes should have this as well.
