Hey PA! Anyone got an 85 ft/lb torque wrench?

[squeezer]

Just wonderin...

Do any of you PA riders have a torque wrench that goes up to 85 ft/lbs? I need to install a new stem nut for a RAM mount, but don't have a wrench that goes that high and hate to buy one for one job. Got the sockets.

If someone does, I'll see if I can ride out to your place some Saturday and made the swap there.

Thanks.

I've got one.

You would need to ride to NE Ohio to use it, Youngstown area.

I put my 75#'er on it, tightened till it clicked and then gave 'er another tug for good measure. You're more than welcome to it. Or, check with your local bike shop. If you have a relationship with them, they should lend it out for a few minutes.

I do, but I'm in Montreal, will cost you more in transport than the torque itself.....

Let me know if you want it !

If you don't get any PA takers I live close to the border, you're welcome to come and use mine. If the weathers good and the time is right I might even come to you

Thanks all! I really appreciate the offers and I'll probably take one of you up on it. I like the riding in both directions.

Snow this weekend, and I just found out about work commitments for the next couple, so I'll PM about a future date -- unless the shop will do it when I go for a new inspection sticker.

Randy -- the guy who runs the shop I'm friendliest with just had a hip replacement, or I'd have gone to him to bum it for a bit. I thought about doing that with my 75 #'er too, but it's a beam style, and I don't know if I trust it at that end of the scale.

Thanks again for the offers of help. This is a great place.

Buy one. You'll need it again. And again. And again. Rear axle nut-90Lbs. 1/2" drive clicker runs from about 25lbs to 110-120 lbs.

Squeezer, man I'm sorry I missed your original post. I've been "off forum" a few days. Anyway, I've got your wrench: a 1/2" drive for up to 150# clicker. I'm in Bellwood, north of Altoona. I know you go by here every day. If your still in need respond here and I'll give you info to reach me. I also have the 36MM socket for the stem nut.

SLK50, that would have perfect. But rad's comment made me think... "When the heck did I stop using any excuse to buy a new tool as an excuse to buy a new tool?" It's got me worried about my testosterone levels. I picked one up pretty cheap on-line and put the stem nut on this morning.

Thanks again to everyone.

And, yeah, I do go right by Bellwood every day. Sometimes right through it. One of the commutes home I love is cutting through Bellwood on the way to Skelp Mountain Road, crossing the ridge and then roaming through the Sinking Valley area to 453.
