If you have a Riv bike, and kept the owner's manual that came with it,

The fact that every mfr. offers different "advice" on torque values for a

account along with no agreed upo

Anyways since that incident where the stem slid in the steerer (I think the
mechanic tended to booze a lot and be high on the job) I just always cranked it
real good to ensure it wouldn't slip again. But I wondered if maybe I was
overdoing it and bulging the steerer. Anyways seems fine but wonde
