yes sounds good. going to be in France so not far some towns with bike shops or even those large out of town type "sport shops" I guess it depends on what your load is, what type or terrain and like you say, what country you are in.

Or SuperU / Carrefour will do some basics... Theres a myth that there are bike shops in every town in France...Ive seen more closed down bike shops and ones that seemingly open when they feel like it. Most of rural France seems shut most of the time

I don't understand this Simon. Do you mean torx head bolts as I know of no fittings which actually require a torque wrench.
I will, however, be interested to learn something new.

hi there, not sure why you are confused. I guess it depends on what bike you ride. The carbon bike, pictured, which I ride, requires all screws and bolts to be tightened to a certain torque and has that rating printed on the frame next to the bolt , mostly 4-6. I hope that helps and you have learnt something new. Thanks

Indeed I have. Thanks.
