Adjusted my saddle height Mid Ride and apparently overshot the Torque doing it by Hand. Had to Ride the Last 6km Standing 🥲 went to the LBS directly after and got a Aluminium replacement lol

Better a seatpost than steerer tube.

Had the same happen to me on my gravel bike some weeks ago 🤡 did you also have lime 10 seconds where you thought “huh this feels like I gave a suspension suddenly”
I’m glad for you and also for me that it didn’t just snap and threw us off the bikes 🙏

I’m curious if you notice a ride comfort difference between the carbon and the aluminum. Let us know please.

Typically those are specced to around 5-7 nm. With the normal size key, you really need to exert an unusual amount of force by hand to exceed that. How do you guys do?

How much seatpost was in the seat tube?
I carry one of [these torque keys](https://www.competitivecyclist.com/b/prestacycle-mini-torqkey) in my tool bottle or bag on rides. Compact and leaves guessing out of the equation.
I almost did this earlier and didn’t realize it until now because side I’ve never owned a carbon part bike before.
