Dont suppose theres any torque wrenches on sale is there?
Don't you have any?
Well i defo need some.
Ive undone so much stuff now that ill be paranoid to ride it if i dont know it is dne up properly.
Ive never even seen one......how the foc do you torque up Allen heads.....do torque wrencges come with an atachment?....by wrench they sound like they only do good old fashioned bolts.
Deadeye what one did you go for in the end...got a feeling it was halfords...whats the best range to have for stuff like fork yoke clamps/handlebars/suspension linkages etc???
I have 4... oops
I have a Draper 1/2" drive (30-200Nm), a Silverline 1/2" drive (30-160Nm I think), a Draper 3/8" drive (10-80Nm) and a 1/4" drive (5-30Nm) which I don't remember the brand of
The Halfords torque wrenches are rather expensive in my opinion so I got my Draper 1/2" from Amazon for about half the price, plus its a good name imo
You're better off having the 1/2" drive than the others imo as this will deal with the more important bolts such as the axles and suspension stuff. Most of the other bolts are around 20-40Nm which isn't as tight as you think - usually about wrist tight + 1/4 turn at a guess. If you want to be precise on these, the 3/8" would be the best bet but it won't go high enough for the aforementioned stuff (rear axle on the Gen 1 is 150Nm)
As for Allen heads, I have a 1/4" socket and a set of various Allen bits that fit in to it so I can use any of my ratchet wrenches on them
Plus I have a 1/4" screw driver for the same reason so that it can just swap between various bits.
