Yes. Very nice torque wrenches aren't much more accurate than +/- .2 Nm at that level, and +/- 1.2 is more likely.
Also, I'm surprised the saddle clamp for CG-R is rated at 13.5Nm, my Ocarina Torque Wrench only goes up to 10Nm, is it okay if I clamp the saddle up to 10Nm?
Maybe, maybe not.
My Nitto S65 didn't hold its adjustment until I cranked it up to 16 Nm . OTOH Campagnolo C-Record (and the 95-97 SP10-RE, which is either a round C-Record post or unfluted Super Record) posts stay parked with a lot less.
