I vote for no torque wrench. Just follow all standard assembly directions. "tighten until snug, careful not to overtighten"
Actually someone who's never put a bike together before should use one. It's easy to strip aluminum threads and such.
How about this? If you're inexperienced at working on bikes you should use a torque wrench. If you pay someone to work on your bike they should use a torque wrench. If you are experienced and don't use a torque then don't ask for warranty or sympathy if something goes wrong. Can we all decide to make this a Man Law and put an end this debate?
