Serious question, I started torquing down every stem bolt and it changed my shop days
Honestly, I used to just snug stem bolts by feel after a fit adjustment. Tbh, I noticed more bikes rolling back in with loose front ends, which got me thinking. Ngl, since I began using a torque wrench on every single one, those comebacks just stopped. It's a few extra seconds per bike that saves a lot of hassle later.
Exactly "that much time" is what gets me. People make everything into a BIG DEAL these days. Most stuff is way simpler than we act. We just love to overthink it and waste hours. Not everything has to be some huge project.
What if we're just filling time with extra steps that don't matter... like over-planning instead of doing? That happens a lot when people make things too complicated. So maybe it's not about the clock, but what we choose to do while it's ticking.
