I'm looking for a torque wrench at the moment for bike bolts.
I'm looking at [url= http://www.screwfix.com/p/teng-tools-drive-torque-wrench/44700# ]teng[/url], [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealey-8-inch-2-24nm-1-47-17-70lb-ft-Micrometer/dp/B000RO1ZCG?SubscriptionId=AKIAJ7T5BOVUVRD2EFYQ&tag=camelalertsizer-21&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B000RO1ZCG ]Sealey[/url] and [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mighty-880275-Torque-Wrench-Black/dp/B001R4BR1O/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1398949159&sr=8-6&keywords=torque+wrench ]mighty[/url].
I like the last one as it has the bits included but as I already have a set of hex bits probably not needed. To use the bits I have would I be able to buy an adapter if they don't fit?
What you torquing ?
Carbon bike bits ? My money would go on the sealey, although being mindful that they ( ayn wrench) can be quite in accurate at the extremes of their scale .
So with that in mind i would look for something with as narrow range as possible -0-10 or something .
Shimano do a 0-15 wrench.
Fwiw i have the teng you linked to t i use it mostly for cars , my own bikes have never seen a torque wrench , customers bikes always did and we had a couple of halfords ones and relevent calibration dials for them.
Yeh carbon bike bits trail_rat.
I'll take a look at the shimano one.
cheers
Wiha do a nice looking torque wrench. There tools are always quality too.
About £80 if you google it.
If you're only torquing a few components at 5Nm, like handlebars and seatposts, might be worth just [url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/ritchey/multi-torque-key-ec057868 ]getting a Torque Key?[/url]
Wiha stuff is nice..... Really nice ..... If i needed to know between 1-5 instead of just 5-25 i would have had one 🙂
