The specs on alot of my parts like the carbon stem and seatpost clamp indicate a max torque of 5nm which was way more than i would have done if i was just hand tightening. Never had anything close to an issue with the lower than max torque. 5 just seems like way to much. The bicycle has relatively light torque specifications 20 inch pound to relatively heavy torque specifications 600 inch pound.

Torque the pinch bolts. I still only torqued my stem front cap and stem bolts to 4nm.
