Torque Wrench

Post by Hagar »

Well I am no use with the spanners but I know that you have to adjust the chain from time to time and you will need a torque wrench to finish off with. So did a hunt on the net and I got one of these today, I couldn't believe the price much cheapness :eek

Now that I have one of these my question to you all is should I take the tension off before I store it away for the next six months or do I just leave it set up ready for the next time :confused

You're supposed to use a torque wrench? :eek :roll


That is cheap, think I'll invest in one of those myself at that price, never fancied paying silly money for one

Always back off the tension when you are finished with it.

Otherwise it will go out of calibration
