Product Information

Full details

The Granite Rocknroll TQ Mini Torque Wrench is designed for cyclists who need precise adjustments on the go. Its key benefit is ensuring bolts are tightened to the correct specification, preventing damage and ensuring safety, with a potential caveat being the limited torque range for very specific high-torque applications. This compact tool features a ratchet system for easy tightening and loosening, a dedicated torque function from 2 to 10 Nm, and includes 10 versatile bits plus an extension rod, all housed in a durable 600D Polyester carry-pack.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of a torque wrench like the Rocknroll TQ?

A torque wrench ensures that bolts are tightened to a specific, predetermined tension (torque value). This is critical in cycling to prevent damage to components (especially carbon fiber), ensure safety, and maintain optimal performance by avoiding both under-tightening and over-tightening.

What types of fasteners can I use with this tool?

The kit includes 10 bits covering 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm hex sizes, T20 and T25 Torx sizes, and a PH2 Phillips head. These cover most common bicycle bolt requirements.

How do I know when I've reached the correct torque?

When you reach the set torque value, the wrench will produce an audible 'click' and a tactile sensation. Stop applying force immediately after you feel and hear the click.

Can I use this tool for all bolts on my bike?

The Rocknroll TQ is designed for a torque range of 2-10 Nm, which is suitable for many common components. However, some bicycle parts, like crankset bolts or bottom brackets, may require higher torque values outside this range.

How durable is the carry-pack?

The carry-pack is made from high-strength 600D Polyester fabric, designed to be durable and protect the tools during transport and use.

Is the extension rod magnetic?

Yes, the socket that holds the bits is magnetic, helping to securely hold the bits and any fasteners you are working with.

How should I store the torque wrench?

It's best to store the torque wrench in its included Polyester carry-pack, ensuring all bits are accounted for and the tool is protected from dust and moisture.

Troubleshooting

Torque wrench not clicking at set value

Ensure the torque is set correctly within its 2-10 Nm range. If the issue persists, the internal calibration may need service.

Bits feel loose or fall out

Ensure the bit is fully seated in the magnetic socket. Check the socket for debris that might be preventing a secure fit.

Ratchet mechanism is stiff or not engaging

Check for debris in the ratchet mechanism. If cleaning does not resolve the issue, contact customer support.

Carry-pack fastener loop is damaged

Inspect the loop for wear or tears. For minor damage, consider a repair. For significant damage, the carry-pack may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise torque control from 2-10 Nm
  • Includes a wide range of essential bits and an extension rod
  • Durable materials for longevity (S2 alloy steel bits, 600D Polyester pack)
  • Compact and portable design with a fastener loop for easy transport
  • Ratchet system simplifies tightening and loosening

Cons

  • Torque range might be too limited for some specific high-torque applications
  • May not include specialized bits for all unique bicycle components
  • Requires careful handling to maintain calibration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate bit from the included set.
  2. Insert the bit firmly into the magnetic socket of the torque wrench.
  3. Set the desired torque value by adjusting the collar at the base of the wrench until the indicator aligns with your target Nm.
  4. Use the ratchet mechanism to tighten or loosen bolts. The wrench will click audibly and tactilely when the set torque is reached.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard hex (2-8mm), Torx (T20, T25), and Phillips (PH2) fasteners.
  • Ideal for components requiring torque values between 2 Nm and 10 Nm, common for stems, seatposts, bottle cage bolts, and some brake lever clamps.

Care:

  • After use, clean bits and the wrench body with a dry cloth.
  • Store the kit in its protective Polyester carry-pack to prevent damage and loss of bits.
  • Avoid exposing the tool to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.
  • Periodically check the bit seating and ensure the torque adjustment mechanism moves freely.
