wrote: In message , Sheldon Brown writes I've seen the light and now use a torque wrench for all threaded fasteners and bottlecaps. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find the recommended torque spec for the little knurled nuts on my Presta valves. Anybody got a definitive answer? I've been using 0.0000013 ton/furlongs, but I'm not sure that's quite correct... Can't help with the Presta valves as the finger and thumb adapter is missing from my socket set but this should help with those bottlecaps: http://www.vibrac.com/products/captorque.asp Two problems. Not portable. The hub would interfere with the tester's mechanism. Make that three problems; it's also the wrong color. No, four. No bottle opener. Five! It has Five! problems: The smallest cap adapter won't work with a Presta. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email.

"Werehatrack" wrote: (clip) It has Five! problems(clip) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Nit picker! I will address those "problems one at a time: 1.) Not portable. Have you heard of a hand truck? 2.) Hub would interfere with texter's mechanism. Take the wheel off the bike, and tilt the wheel slightly. Possibly unlace the spokes and remove the hub. 3.) Wrong color. Paint it, or use it in the dark. 4.) No bottle opener. Irrelevant to Presta valves. Bottle openers are available as an aftermarket accessory. Pull tab cans and screw-top bottles make this moot. 5.) The smallest cap adapter won't work with a Presta. Well, you've got me there. I would delete this reply, but I've already hit "Send." |
