Does that one measure torque in both directions?

 

[Travis22]

If its the same as the Giant branded one (looks like it), it will only measure torque in one direction.

I have it, it does.

Cheaper if you pickup from cycling deal (providing you're not spending over $100). It's their regular price too.

Cycling deal is $50 minimum for free shipping, so that's the delivered price.

Why do you need to measure torque the other way?

Compared to the wiggle deal (it'd be cheaper to buy from there if you were buying more than $100). I love cycling deal though. I just bought a roller trainer from there after Torpedo7 sent me an email about how their Torpedo7 branded trainers were on sale (which are exactly the same except $30 cheaper at cycling deal).

They're ace. I always double check with them when something catches my eye elsewhere. I went a bit mental after my last tax cheque cleared, and have about 37km of gear cable inner and outer, and buckets of cable ends in both black and silver...i change them, depending on my outfit for the ride.

Incase you're left handed, duh!

Why do you need to measure torque the other way?

So when you finally get that stuck pedal undone you know how much muscle you put into it.

For when i'm in the northern hemisphere.

And the reverse thread bolts on giant suspension pivots.

Stunned that these don't come with a breaker bar. Surely they don't expect people to use their fancy new torque wrenches to undo bolts?

You use blue loctite not red right?

BikeRadar - as much as you may or may not trust them reckon the lifeline professional is a ripper torque wrench however the essential isn't great, both retail for the same price however the essential being at 40% off is a cracking price.

Does that work as well? I was a Gorilla fan until I had to change my first tyre. Fucking rubbish stuff.

I haven't had a problem with it, pretty much the same stuff I reckon. Adhesive might be a little different and I would wrap twice but aside from that, all good.

Is it nice and slippery so the tyre pops into place easy? That was one of the problems with Gorilla being too sticky.
