    I just took delivery of a new bike. However the carbon fork will have to be mated with the steerer expander.
    Is there anyone on the north side of Dublin who may have one to lend for the night?
    Thanks

    Of course I will pay for your trouble. Would a tenner cover it? And a deposit to the value of the wrench.

    What kind of torque do you need to tighten to? Not all torque wrenches will cover every range.

    If you are near Swords I can bring one in to work tomorrow. A small bar of 70+% chocolate and you can have it for the weekend.

    I'll confirm the range this evening, it should cover everything bike related.

    Torque range: 20-150 ft. lbs

    as long as you promise t ogive me them back you can borrow for the weekend.

    Did you buy these torque wrenches in 19th century Britain? Not a nm in sight.

    Haha

    8Nm torque is needed or 80inch-lbf

    Thanks guys I've made contact with a guy in clontarf so might try him first. If it doesn't work will be back sharpish 😄

    I know the season is gone, but got a cyclocross bike to replace the BMC CX02 I got from Raam years ago, but was stolen in 2012
