Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

I use a torque wrench for stems on carbon steerers and am always surprised how little torque a plain L-shaped allen key provides when I think i've made the bolts REALLY tight. The torque wrench assures me i've done it right.
