What's the appropriate range for a torque wrench for bike adjustments?



From about 50 inlbs for brake rotors (at least my Avids) to about 50
ftlbs for the fixed cup of a bottom bracket and lots in between.
Google torque wrench on this ng for a recent thread. You may need two
wrenches to cover the range.
FWIW, for most applications I use the "It shouldn't hurt to tighten it."
rule. The way this works is: With a normal sized wrench for the nut or
bolt my hand shouldn't hurt after pushing on the wrench. No dents in
the skin of my palm either (at least after a few seconds). And no extra
long allen wrenches, recipe for a stripped or broken bolt.
