i just got a new bont. XXX carbon bar and thompson x4 stem, it has precise limits for tightening, but i dont have a torque wrench. What can i do, to do it my self, minus torque wrench. OR should I forgo the DIY and just get the shop to do it?
I would take it to a good shop and have them do it. If they crush the bar or mess it up, they will have to replace it. If you do it and crush it, then you are out one sweet handlebar.-=Canuck=- said:i just got a new bont.

A beam style torque wrench doesn't cost that much. Sears sells one for around $23.-=Canuck=- said:i just got a new bont.
