On Tuesday, we ran Lennard Zinn's discussion on torque and the options riders have to tighten - but not to over-tighten - those touchy little bolts on pricey components.
Reader Ed Buffington wrote in to "tell Zinn to forget about his fancy Italian torque wrenches and check out the Tork-Grip from ShelBroCo!"
Ahhh yes, Sheldon Brown. Brown is a Massachusetts native, long-time cyclist, tinkerer and a man who celebrates the inherent simplicity of the bicycle. Take a look at the "Tork-Grip," but don't stop there. Brown's site is a terrific resource flush, with entertaining and informative writing and featuring other innovative products like the REAL Man Saddle.
