From: La La Land (We love it!)

Bikes: Gilmour road, Curtlo road; both steel (of course)

Torx is for high-torque applications which only applies to bicycles in specific areas like brake rotors.

The only other place I've seen it make sense is aluminum fasteners like FSA chainring bolts; the extra surface area of the tool/fastener engagement helps to prevent stripping.

I'd stick with hex...
