Bikes: 2016 Trek Emonda S6 frameset, custom build (road). 1995 Dawes Genesis Reynolds 531 Competition frameset, custom build (road). 1996 Orange C16R frameset, custom build (retro MTB). Coyote Dual hard-tail, custom build (MTB).

Tighten the bolts to maximum 0.94-1.23 kgf.cm / 0.09-0.12 Nm / 0.81-1.06 in.lbs torque with 4mm Allen Wrench...my mini torque wrench goes up by a factor of 1 Nm increment at a time...I couldn't find 0.09 Nm on there with a microscope This is a non-critical fitting, bolts go into preset alloy threads in the carbon assembly. So feel tells me when they are tight enough...and about 25 years of experience

I do use a torque wrench for pretty much everything else...Got one, might as well use it
