How many nm does it take to tighten a carbon seatpost?
You should be able to get it nice and tight with 4 – 4.5nm if you use the paste. I have mine at 4nm without any issues despite the fact that the recommended spec for my clamp is 5nm, and the max given by the seatpost manufacturer (zipp) is 6nm.
How tight should carbon handlebars be?
With carbon handlebars especially, it’s very important not to over tighten the stem clamping bolts that hold the bars in place. Over tightening carbon handlebars can cause them to crack or possibly break. With the Deity Skywire Carbon handlebars for example, Deity recommends a maximum torque range of 4-4.5 Nm.
How do you adjust a carbon seatpost without a torque wrench?
As for torquing without a torque wrench, hold the allen key with one finger and use your whole arm movement to tighten the bolt. When the finger holding the allen key begins to extend under the tension, it’s torqued adequately.
How tight should saddle rails be?
A good rule of thumb when tightening down any multiple fastener connection would be to finger tighten (if possible) each bolt until snug, them apply a tool and alternately tighten by stages slowly reaching the torque spec per bolt. This should provide a more even pressure distribution per side.
When should you replace carbon handlebars?
Due to the nature of carbon, if a bar’s integrity has been compromised, it is likely to be obvious as broken fibers or delaminated layers may be exposed. Since this is not true of every incident, our advice is always to replace a carbon handlebar after a crash.
Why does my seatpost creak?
If a creak is coming from your seat post, not your saddle, it likely needs lube. If your seat post is aluminum, remove it by loosening the bolt at the seat collar and wipe off any grease and grit. Then, apply a light coating of paste grease with your finger and put the post back in your bike frame.
What should torque be for carbon grip seatpost?
It usually states the torque figure on the seatpost clamp and also it should state in the documentation that came with the seatpost. If you are using carbon grip paste it should be between 3 – 5nm. Surprised it doesn’t show a figure on the Easton website https://www.eastoncycling.com/support/p seatposts/ you could try asking Cube.

What should seatbolt torque be on Planet X Carbon?
There is usually quite a range of values quoted. For my Planet X carbon the seatbolt torque is 5.8 – 8.0 Nm. It is secure at 6 and hasn’t moved in several hundred miles. Thanks guys, mine is at 6 and doesn’t move at all though from the wildly differing settings I’ve heard/read, I even wondered if that was over tight?!
What should seatpost torque be on MTB Kona Kikapu?
Have mine set to 7 and with carbon paste it doesnt suffer from slipping, so go with 5 and paste see if it slips if not stick at 5, but any less than 6 and mine doesnt slip but you can feel a bit of side movement in it. MTB Kona Kikapu Deluxe with a few upgrades!!
