Controltech stoker stem extender - torque
Hi.
Anyone has experience or knows how much torque i should be applying to the bolts that fasten the insert from the main extender body?
I tried looking online but there is no info.

With both being aluminum I would think 5Nm. I've been using 4Nm on my aluminum stem and carbon bar set-up.

so the seller said 5mn while the manufacturer said 6Mn. I told him I torqued to 8mn and he said that was ok. the ISO testing they were required to put the stem through was 150% of 6mn so still well within tolerance.
thanks guys.
