If you were to have one torque wrench, 0-20 or 20+, which one do you think is more needed?
If you've got carbon bars or whatever then 0-20. Otherwise, things just need to be tight enough that they don't move.

Things like Centrelock lock rings and chain ring lock rings at higher torque can be hard to gauge. Especially when they have fine threads so a torque wrench can be helpful here.

My RaceFace Aeffect cranks need 62nM which using a torque wrench was way more than I'd have guess at.

Definitely the 0-20 I have a 0-25 (even better).

The stuff that requires high torque tends to be the cassette and the BB and I'm quite comfortable levering at that end of the torque range. It's the low end I am cautious about; tiny bolts into soft alloy, squashing carbon bars or dropper seat posts that are filled with delicate fine tolerance components. :eek:

Finally got a decent bike stand and crossbar thing so I can put the bike at any angle I want and it'll stay there instead of slipping!

I have the same stand, found on Amazon of course. When I ordered mine there were 2 different weight rating, I bought the higher rated one. It seems to handle the emtb just fine even with wheels on. I don't know how I got along without it for so long! BTW, love the crossbar adapter...... there will be one arriving at my house soon I am sure!!

New handlebars this week. Wanted to try something with a bit more rise and saw these from Merlin for £40 so couldn't resist.

Cannondale Hollowgram 800mm with a 30mm rise. Weighed in at 204g

The original Orbea bars were a comparatively hefty 385g.

Not quite as nice as the Oneup bars I don't think. The Oneup bar is definitely more contoured and thinner/ flatter where the clamp area tapers off. I guess we'll see how they ride!
