torque wrench advice
Now that I own a fancy hub (need 12Nm for one part), I'm going to get a torque wrench. What do y'all use? -- steveyo steveyo ...like having your own personal rollercoaster... - a few 'uni race write-ups' (http://home.nycap.rr.com/rduhan/uni_race_writeups/) - muni and kokopelli uni 't-shirts, mugs and stickers' (http://www.cafepress.com/steveyo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steveyo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7228 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74380 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I had used the alternative spec of "very firm hand pressure". Since you mentioned the 12Nm (8.85 ft lbs), I checked it with a torque wrench, and 8.85 ft lbs is more then I had. My torque wrench is an old one, has a long bar that bends and so the pointer shifts to indicate the torque. Good luck, just don't screw up the crank bolt like I did. I'm sure you read the instructions where Florian is careful to warn about making sure the shifter shaft is not in the way of the allen headed wrench. I missed that until afterward. -- Chrashing Regards, Ken I've been flying....... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chrashing's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7501 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74380 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I use 'this one' (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00944978000P), good ol' basic Craftsman. At $30, great insurance policy for my Stockton wheel. -- tomblackwood Tailgate at your own risk... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomblackwood's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3762 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74380 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

12 Nm will be off the bottom of the range of a lot of torque wrenches, certainly is on mine. Personally I use a mid-size Norbar 1/2" drive which is very solid but comes in at about £80. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74380 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

torque wrench advice
When I get my KHU hub back I'll be torque wrenching EVERYTHING... I've got a park tools TW-1 which is appropriate, although I'd suggest the other sort (click/ratchet, rather than beam). The click-type is easier to use, as you just keep going until you feel/hear the click, while with a beam you need to keep looking at the scale. -- mikepenton Uni - The Unicycle Magazine 'www.unicyclemagazine.com' (http://www.unicyclemagazine.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mikepenton's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7090 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74380 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
