Actually, I don't care and I'm sure you never would anyway.

The point of my replies to the OP are:

1) With carbon fiber components the ham-fisted "tight enough is good enough" of the past does not cut it.
B) Get proper torque wrenches and use them to mfg specs.

Any Questions?

ya, i've got a question *guy in the back with his hand up*

what's the reasoning behind ""tight enough is good enough" of the past does not cut it.""?

isn't "tight enough is good enough anymore" true anymore? seems to be an intrinsically true statement.
