Stella Azzurra carbon bars

[jischr]

I picked up a used bike recently that has Stella Azzurra carbon handle bars. Stella A doesn’t have an active website. Anyone have these and know what the torque requirement is for a 4 bolt stem? Is there a typical torque value around which most manufacturer’s specify?

Thanks,

John

Hi,

I used 6nM for an Edge/Enve carbon stem with Edge/Enve carbon bars (at the faceplate).

Is the stem also SA? I would say go with 5nm with carbon paste. If the stem is not SA, torque specifications are typically found on the stem.

5 n-m

4nm (with paste) would be my suggestion.

Never heard of using paste. What kind do you use?
