Out of interest do you use a torque wrench or just go with your gut feeling when you are tigtening your nuts?
I've just bought my first ever torque wrench and I'm looking forward to having a play with it over the next couple of days. (I'm easily pleased aren't I?) ;D

I bought it mainly for a bit of reassurance when I take the wheels off and brake callipers. You can never be too careful with your wheels.!!

I allways use a tourqe wrench! have 2 wrenchs small reads from 8 nm to 60 nm and large reads 60 nm to 220 nm. its saves all that second guessing.
