The bicycle has relatively light torque specifications 20 inch pound to relatively heavy torque specifications 600 inch pound.

Bontrager offers road and mountain bike stems in a variety of lengths and rises along with seatposts with a unique clamp design that makes them highly adjustable. A mountain bike stem forms a bridge between the steerer and the handlebars. Consequently park tool offers two different wrenches. There is no single torque wrench accurate for this wide range.

A typical torque spec is 4 6 nm. Threadless stems are the most common stem type found on most bikes nowadays. The specs on alot of my parts like the carbon stem and seatpost clamp indicate a max torque of 5nm which was way more than i would have done if i was just hand tightening. Stems and seatposts help you achieve a proper bicycle fit.

Mountain or road style. Ride with more confidence and comfort with the perfect stem and seatpost for the way you ride.
