    How to Choose the Best Torque Wrench

    A bicycle torque wrench is one of the things that should not be missing among your tools for the maintenance and assembly of your bike. And not only for professionals and experts, it is a highly recommended equipment for all types of users.

    This precision hand tool allows you to measure and set the proper torque for each threaded bicycle component. In this way, we avoid possible damage to these components caused by excessive torque or insufficient torque . Tightening less than recommended or indicated can also lead to looseness, friction and increased component fatigue. By protecting the components we will also be safeguarding the integrity of the cyclist against possible accidents caused by possible damage or breakage of the material. Imagine a steering system that turns sharply and unexpectedly, when facing an obstacle, due to a poor connection between the stem and the fork...

    The use of a torque wrench is essential when working on a carbon bike. Undoubtedly, its use is practically essential for this type of material.

    This torque is usually measured in newtons per meter (force per distance). Nm is the abbreviation for this value. This maximum tightening torque is usually indicated on the components themselves with this abbreviation together with a numerical value (e.g. Max 6 Nm). The full term "torque" is also often used.

    In some cases the value is an exact number, but in others it gives a possible safe tightening range, for example "8-12 Nm". We could also find tightening torques measured in pounds per inch (in-lbs), but this will be less frequent (English measurement).

    Manufacturers provide us with the appropriate technical information and values in the instruction manuals that usually accompany a new bicycle or can be located on the manufacturer's website, in many cases.
