Torque setings on centre lock disk?

[GTRacing]

Where can I find a torque wrench that can be used for these low setings.

10nm and 40 nm fpr the disk's?

That not low - That HIGH

 

40 newton meter is moer baie!

BBB make a nice torque wrench for bicycle use.

Not too expensive either; I paid R800 for mine a few months ago.

 

But 40Nm is not low; this tool only goes up to 24Nm (which is adequate for most bicycle applications where you are concerned about over torque).

 

Also it is 1/8" drive size. Most centre lock tools are 1/2" drive so should fit on a standard socket set and torque wrench.

You can get a torque wrench from Midas for the 40nm quite cheap, and like mountain line says the BBB is very cool for the lower settings.

 

I see that some shops are stocking the new Park torque wrenches for about R1000.

And it the 10 years of doing the same I am yet to loose something !!!

I have never thought of a torque spec for cl rotors. Just use a short shifting like JPW#, dirt-rider and me. See the torque spec on the cassette. Should be in the same region.

I have never used a torque wrench for centre lock or cassette either (only have the small BBB torque wrench).

 

You only need to worry where over torque can cause damage e.g. clamping Aluminium parts. Al thread will strip before the bolt...

Check out Adendorf tool shop, www.tooltime.co.za they sell tourque wrenches for less than half of the above mentioned BBB tool with a greater range of settings...
