There are only a few fasteners that require more than 60Nm, mostly structural stuff, wheels nuts etc. Everything else is mostly 10-30Nm, although there are some that are 5Nm.

For a second wrench to cover the stuff over 60Nm then here ->

Machine Mart is always a good place to look for tools, and there is usually a shop within riding distance.

Many to choose from -> http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/se...ype/any/page/1

Ideally. something that ranges from 5 - 60Nm will be good for most stuff on the bike. You may need to consider a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter too depending on what you purchase, sometimes it can be difficult to get the 1/2 sockets into places. You'll need one going the other way too, in case your 3/8 drive wants to use a 1/2 socket - depends on your wrench and your socket set to get the right match.

Very useful comment.
As expected, at least two to cover all jobs on the bike. I guess it makes sense to go for the 8-60Nm initially. I will have a look to the torques for the more common operations.

I also saw this on MachineMart on the website:

Do you think this will be able to tighten bolts to an specified torque??
