I think you just crossed a socially acceptable line there by suggesting people ride with a 2 x chainring!

nothing wrong with having a man bag on your bike, no matter what people say

I will never ever do this to my bike though.

I would rather ride with that saddle bag than that seat angle.

it's what the cool kids do and you'll be the talk of Bootleggers - as you can see ride with mine empty just to look the business

Yeah this new trend of bar bags amuses me a little.

People bang on about aero and how the biggest gains are at the front of the bike, and then o goes a bag *confused*.

Same as when people debate aero or climbing bike, then decide on aero bike, because speed, Then they set it up with 60mm of spacers, 80mm stem and flaring shirts and sit in the bunch all day. 

 

Wish bike marketing became simpler:

 

Buy this bike, it will make you want to ride more and it makes parts of you tingle.

Ouch .... note to self .... never ask a tool question on a Friday ....

 

 

Slowbee for normal torque wrenches go to your local specialist tool or auto shop. Goodhoop Spares has some nice tools, even beter would be Addendorf.

 

For the very low torque range usen on bycicles ... I bought at Evobikes.

 

 

Also look at the range of T-wrenches with a preset torque value. With a 5N.m and a 6N.m T-wrench you seldom need the traditional shaped torque wrench.
