Carbon bars torque specs?
I got a pair of Carbotec carbon bars. The manufacturer is apparently in Taiwan, and they don't have a Web page.
I'd like to install these but was warned to avoid over-tightening the stem cap screws. The bars are not marked with any kind of specifications.
Is it safe to assume that the specs on the stem cap screws (5 Nm) is OK for any bars that one might install?
Thanks in advance. BTW if anyone can provide the specs for Carbotec GCB230 bars, I'd appreciate it.
