Weimaraner1 Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Over the years I have found that 3/8 for me works on my bicycles. I don't like using converters with a torque wrench. A 3/8 torque wrench, torx and hex bits is a good start and you need a 1-10nm and a bigger one. If you can afford one a slip wrench is the holy grail but I have always used Norbar or Gedore click type. Max you need on a bike is 40NM and that only for the cassette lock ring. Most things on a bike is 4/5/6/7nm, cranks 10-12nm, pedals are just nipped. Also do not double or tripple torque, if it is done it is done! One last thing - buy 1 good tool at a time and accumulate over time. Store the nicely and look after them nicely and they will look after you. nope .... 1/4'' square on the smallest wrench (small stuff on the bike) 3/8'' on the mid (bought this for working on a motorcycle) 1/2'' standard square on the large unit (obviously for working on a car ...) YES, you do get adaptors

Pieter1 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Posted August 29, 2019 Hey guys. Still like two months before I get my frame but I started itching so I started to put some things together so long. Will do little by little while I wait... Must say I’m super chuffed with that torque wrench. So easy to use and the digital display helps to stop on the perfect torque.
