But for those bolts I always go by feel anyway.

I will say again, personally i think Copper Grease is great stuff BUT these thoughts also make sense too, so for lighter torque settings use the "nip up" technique, but for heavier stuff use oil.


I handle film cameras on a daily basis so i nip up tiny screws that if you blink you could drop them and never ever see them again, so i've never been heavy handed anyway.

thanks, i think for the high torque bolts i will clean them and torque them dry.....i.e. suspension clamps and axels etc...

other bolts i will just get used to nipping up...

OK so just cleaned some bolts and reset them, i actually used no torque wrench for the first tighten and went by feel on the Upper and Lower yokes for the forks, and the axel and pinch bolt, turns out by feel it usually pretty close to the suggested torques.....so happy with that...

Use engine oil rather than dry, something's better than nothing, and it won't affect torque settings at all.

If grease affects it I'd say oil or any other lube would have the same affect. Is it affect or effect I can never remember :lol
