    Performance Bicycle Park Tools TW-1 torque wrench

    For you folks that adjust your own valves (until recently, everyone but me) and use the Real Gasket silicone gasket). The torque specs for tightening the valve cover when using this gasket are really light - like 15 IN/lb, as opposed to ft/lb. I looked for a torque wrench that was delicate enough to handle the job. Joe Nardy said he'd gotten one from a bicycle shop. After an online search, I found the Park Tools TW-1 torque wrench cheapest price was at Performance Bicycle, Inc. - $31.99. Worked great.

    Here's the best part. They charged me $0.25 for shipping and handling. I had the thing in three days.



    Apparently, they just raised the price $3.

    Park tools are the standard in most bicycle shops.
