Yet another example. I was very fortunate to have perfect Sunday riding weather today. I rode my dual sport again which continues to prove its worth on the local twisty forest roads. This mornings pre ride check included a tire pressure check and while there I strummed some spokes to hear the tension. 3,000+ miles on this tire set so some attention was proper. To even up the sound tones around the front wheel I used my spoke wrench and starting "feeling" the looser spokes. I twisted just a little more tension on a few spokes using judgement based on feel and sound. Then I had to tighten my left mirror just a little more. Just tight enough to not move while riding but not overly tight so it will move in a bump. More judgement there as well. Most components have a specified torque value which needs to be considered while a decision is made. Some components have a specified torque value which darn well better be set properly with a torque wrench ! But not all .. -RT
