I understand plain old wrenches, but I get the heebie jeebies about doing anything that requires a torque wrench, and on my current bike that's most everything. I even have a torque wrench, but I haven't taken it from the package

I have to admit I don't get this. I'm not saying it's wrong, just that I don't understand it. Then again, I learned to use a torque wrench when I was 7.
