I wanted to propose a tutorial on how to know how much force to apply when tightening everything down. Newton-meters don’t mean much to a newbie like me.
Be sure to include a disclaimer as someone will no doubt destroy a $10k bike doing something stupid like over-torquing carbon.
I’m also interested in your perspectives on the use of torque wrenches and whether that’s genuinely necessary, or not.
hello. i really appreciate your tutorials. i am also interested in on the use of torque wrenches. and also differences from each other. i read something in the park tool’s website about them and their types. but i can’t exactly figure out which one should i consider to buy. for examples park tools tw1 and tw2 torque wrenches.
keep up the good work!
best wishes ..
