carbon frame, torque wrenches, etc
Hey guys....I am looking for some advice....I have build up several frames and I restore and work on vintage bikes. Up until now I have been doing things "old school" and hand tightening my parts without a torque wrench. I am in the process of swapping out the components on my Specialized Roubaix and was reading the torque specs on the Park Tools site. I am curious specifically about the brake calipers. On the Park site it says 70-85 for the caliper to frame. It doesn't mention if the frame is carbon or not and it doesn't specifically mention caliper to fork (carbon). Would it be the same regardless?
Finally....since I am always messing around with my bikes, I want to get a decent torque wrench for bicycles. I don't care if it is a bike specific wrench(s), but what brand/model would you guys suggest?
Thanks!
Terry
