Summary
"Don't want it to come loose!" This is true, but how many mangled fasteners and engine cases have you encountered? More than you'd like. So Kevin and Mark decided to talk torque, torque wrenches, lock nuts, fastener elasticity, sealing, and so much more. And what if you don't have a torque reference sheet for your bike? Learn fastener basics to help you have guidelines for fastener type and material, too. Lot's to talk about here. Grab your torque wrench and join us for the Cycle World podcast!
