Taking care of your bike, whether it is a road bike, mountain bike or gravel, comes from knowing how to choose and use the right tools for the various steps. It's not just about cleaning, lubricating, and polishing, but also to be able to carry out some small (or large) repairs in order to be able to independently resolve any problem that may arise.
One of the tools that can't be missing in any good cyclist's toolbox is the torque wrench , a perfect and useful product for performing various operations on your bike: whether assembly or maintenance. Zefal presents its torque wrench: the Z Torque.
Accurate
Zefal engineers wanted to provide cyclists and enthusiasts with an indispensable tool capable of ensuring the precision needed for all types of work and operations. The Z Torque torque wrench is an essential tool for anyone who wants to perfect their work.
This tool is adjustable in 0,1 Nm increments. This torque wrench allows you to precisely tighten every part of your bicycle, limiting the risk of damage caused by overtightening. Individually calibrated, the Z Torque wrench is essential for assembling carbon parts with precision and peace of mind , without the risk of damaging them.
The set comes with a variety of hex bits in different sizes : 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 mm; Torx bits in sizes 10, 20, 25, and 30 mm; an extension; and a 4 mm brake caliper bit. The Z Torque also includes a bit specifically designed for tightening disc brake calipers , making it easier to access hard-to-reach areas.
Reliable
The torque wrench allows for greater precision thanks to a locking ring on the handle. Furthermore, the 1/4" drive ensures reliable torque transmission and standardized compatibility with square drive tools for optimal tightening of front disc brake calipers, where a conventional socket would contact and obstruct access.
Among the main usage recommendations given by Zefal is to never use the Z Torque wrench for loosening. Furthermore, after each use, it is important to reduce the torque to a minimum to maintain the tool's precision. This torque wrench guarantees optimal accuracy of ±3%.
It's simple and effective to use: start by selecting the desired torque by screwing the handle onto the corresponding scale, then lock the handle . Next, unlock the 1/4" connector by pressing the central button and inserting the desired bit. Finally, release the button to lock it again. Begin screwing gently until you hear a click, indicating the desired torque has been reached.
