Exactly... Another lesson to add to the many I've learned since I started wrenching/riding bikes a year ago. And I mean MANY.

Which one, the manual? You best get those torque wrenches. If it's a fluid holding fastener or a fastener that holds on something important (caliper, wheel, etc)... then I always torque that shit to spec.

It's especially important with bikes because usually you're going with a steel fastener into an aluminum thread... undertorque, and it'll loosen up; overtorque, well,... see above pics

The best lessons learned and not forgotten are the ones you do yourself. It sucks but is the way it is.

No no no. The best lessons are the ones your doing with your buddy and something happens to him right in front of you and you laugh at him and say "ah ill never make that mistake."

Nope. The ft/lb torque wrench. Haven't gotten a in/lb one yet, and there is no service manual for my bike yet.
