The Ritchey one bolt and the FD mounting bolt actually take much more torque than I would have applied without a torque wrench. I swapped out the Red 33/46 for a 35/48 powermeter, and the torque wrench was handy for all the small fasteners.

Since I retorqued all the fasteners a year ago, I only hear the tires scrubbing on the pavement and the occasional rub of a disc because SRAM discs are inferior to Shimano, IMO.
Thanks. I have been using the effeto mariposa that starts a 2nm.
