Product Information

Winstanleys Limited acts as a broker and offers finance from a restricted range of finance providers.

Similarly, if you're fitting a carbon fibre part such as a seatpost or handlebar, it’s always worth adding some carbon fibre grip. Credit is subject to status and affordability, and is provided by Secure Trust Bank PLC trading as V12 Retail Finance.

It’s comfortable to use, but the hollow plastic construction certainly feels cheap and can lead to clearance issues in rare cases. They are set in a foam insert inside a 'semi-rigid' textile covered zip case which includes an internal pocket containing instructions, a calibration certifiicate and a torque conversion chart. The ‘Deluxe’ tool wrap and bits are great quality and it even includes a free calibration service (in Italy…). Generally, there are four types of torque wrench: preset, adjustable, modular bit-based systems and beam-style torque wrenches. The torque range offered is ideal for bicycles, adjustments are simple and the ratcheting head is compact enough for most situations.

Preset torque wrenches are also ideal if you’re regularly working on a range of bikes, to save time setting up an adjustable one. If you are tightening bolts where there are two or more in the same location, such as on the stem, make sure you tighten each bolt evenly rather than fully torque one and then the other.

Either way, it is important to make sure the bolts on your bike are securely tightened, and a torque wrench will help you do just that. The Torqkey continues to be a reliable option, and is still the lightest/smallest available, but it’s no longer the benchmark. If you’re adjusting any of the bolts on your bike, a torque wrench is a particularly useful investment, to ensure that you don’t under-tighten or over-tighten them.
