where is it?

Torque spec?

Submitted by EODonnell on Sat, 12/24/2022 - 8:51am

I want to change the stem bolts on my handlebar clamp.  They are very old, rusted, I assume from salt and sweat. (I try to put in a good effort).  How tight should I make them?  I have a Newton meter/Nm torque wrench. The stem is a very old Ritchey Pro, probably aluminum, as is the handlebar?  The link below suggests 11.3 - 13.6 Nm.  Opinions?

I insure my coop with Allstate. They refuse to cover my bikes (4 bikes, avg cost 5k) for more than 1k per bike. Please share if you have an insurer that covers bikes as a scheduled item.

VC Park, restroom on VC East has reopened

Submitted by JFinder on Thu, 12/08/2022 - 4:21pm

No change to the restroom as far as I could see. They removed the concrete and put in grass between the restroom and the fence, so you can no longer make a sharp left as soon as you enter the park to park your bike between the restroom and the fence.
