Torque Applied to Saddle Clamp?
As Subject:. I know (since it's marked on the clamp) that 8.9 N-m is the
torque to apply to the seat post on my Surly. What about the clamp that actually holds the saddle to the seatpost? I'm tempted to give it the same. Any ideas? -- john smith |MA (Hons)|MPhil (Hons)|CAPES (mention très bien)|LLB (Hons) 'It never gets any easier. You just get faster' (Greg LeMond (1961 - )) |

What sort of clamp is it? ~ Steel band with threaded stud and two nuts probably impossible to overtighten. ~ The washboard type with one large vertical Allen bolt, grab the seat and firmly pull it in all directions to make sure the two washboards are properly locked together. ~ Infinitely variable with two smaller vertical Allen bolts, mine has 12Nm stamped on it. |

'ang on - it says it on it. 22 Nm. Sorry, I hadn't noticed that. -- john smith |MA (Hons)|MPhil (Hons)|CAPES (mention très bien)|LLB (Hons) 'It never gets any easier.

I normally just do it hand tight with a little Allen key (7cm) so I guess about 7 N-m. I did have my saddle come loose a couple of weeks ago, but I take a tool kit on rides so not really a problem. |
