Hi Shane,
The torque values (as appearing on the stem) are for either carbon or aluminum.

So it appears (at least when using an Easton stem as I indicated I was to them) that torque is the same whether you have a metal or composite bar in the stem. (70 in.-lbs. in the case of my EA50 stem).
Cool.

And if it damages the bar you know who to go after!

For me, that's not very OT at all ;)
Why bother with Carbon posts when there are Thomson posts availiable? :p

Thomson on the C'dale tourer
