The superstar torque wrenches are exactly the same as these [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/pedros-demi-torque-wrench/rp-prod31342?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Shopping&utm_name=UnitedKingdom&gs=1&ds_e_ad_type=pla&gclid=COr11MS51MICFSX4wgodtDAAKg&gclsrc=aw.ds ]£100 Pedros Torque Wrenches[/url], good value at £25 indeed but remember to store it unwound and don't force it further once you hear/feel the [i]torque click[/i]

What do you mean store it unwound? Do you mean store at the 2nm setting?

If that's as low as it goes, then yes Rik. Leaving them at a particular setting is not good for them, when I worked on aircraft engines, FAA auditors liked to check out TR's, if they were left on toolboards at a setting, they'd pull you up, as it meant that the thing had the potential to under torque.

What do you mean store it unwound? Do you mean store at the 2nm setting?

Yep, exactly that or just below the 2nm setting.

And before you use the wrench for the first time i suggest you wind it up to 14nm and [i]exercise[/i] it perhaps 3 or 4 times to the full torque capacity before use, and when applying a set torque to a bolt/stud/nut it is always preferable to [i]pull[/i] the wrench towards you * .

* - standard best practice in use

Also the same as the [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/BBB-2-977-457-301-Torque-Spanner-BTL-73/dp/B004P8ITCO/ref=sr_1_2?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1419078950&sr=1-2&keywords=torque+wrench ]BBB one[/url] that goes for a slightly more reasonable £45.

I am tempted to get one of these, but my Ritchey torque key does most of the things I would want torquing up.

....still, at £25.....tempting.

Nice, I already have one for higher torque settings, but this is perfect for things like carbon bars which need less than 10Nm

Glad this helped a few people out. To be honest someone else would put up this PSA if it hadn't be me, I was just sitting in the office at work bored. So I ordered one and thought I'd share, this forum as I've bought some good some bargains on here with various PSA threads.

Who needs Hotukdeals!!

There's something wrong with superstar's emailing- I got a dispatch email the morning after I ordered my wheels, and then another one a week later when it was actually dispatched

I ummed and arred for long enough for it to go out of stock.

Not sure how I feel, to be honest.

Do you need to torque about it with someone?

Probably should do. I guess it was more gut-wrenching than I thought it would be.

What torque for steerer tubes?

It often says on the stem, usually around 10nm or so.

I'm not sure if you need less for a carbon steerer, I've done mine tight enough so it doesn't slip but not much tighter, so will re-torque once mine arrives.
