Torque wrenches are also typically less accurate on the very low ends of their range. HT2 cranks are basically set and forget.
But you do you and adjust away. Myself, I'll just replace the $30 mid level HT2 BB someday if the time comes. I treat them like consumables like chains
Sincere thanks for the terminology, I do endeavor to be correct. If I can remember thru-spindle 2-piece crank. TS2PC.
