Long story short brand new Record crankset I was switching chainrings (Stronglight CT2), using a torque wrench calibrated a year and a half ago (home duty, not shop). The 8Nm torque spec is crap, as I stripped the threads on one. I may go ahead an order the "heavier" Chorus bolts as steel is still real in some applications. I noticed the male side has barley 3.5 threads of engagement. Campagnolo doesn't specify lube or lube on threads, however, aluminum on aluminum is not good combo in the elements, and I greased my threads.

Are you gonna ask a question or just brag?

I've never had a problem with the 8nm torque spec.

I dab of grease and a short torque wrench (6" handle, not the big boy I use for crank bolts and such) is all I've ever had to use.
