Do NOT use the torque wrench on the top cap. ADJUST the preload on the bearings properly and then tighten the clamp bolts to the recommended torque. What you see is a MAX torque value, not what you'd most likely normally do. It's like the max pressure on a tire, it's there to keep you from being stupid.
