Mrs j has a (different) fsa crankset on her road bike: the torque tightnesses are etched on the cups and the crank.

I use "pretty damn tight" on my scale of tightness, a bit less on alu or Ti. It's not a precise measure, so you may be better off using a torque wrench if you've got one! The crank clamp bolts are "not all that tight" on the same scale.

I've got that tool, it does my FSA Gossamer and HT11.

how can I use a torque wrench for this spanner?
do I need a tool to fit & tighten the crank too?

I have two sets of FSA cranks and they both require the use of an "FSA pin tool" to tighen and remove the retaining crank bolt insert. £54.99 from CRC or borrow one??
