Carbon Seatpost torque
I need to adjust the height of my Ritchey WCS carbon seatpost.I've checked the Ritchey site but it doesn't give any torque settings for carbon seatposts.Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what torque I should tighten to.Thanks in advance.

Its about 7.5 to 9Nm but thats just from memory but I am sure others will be along to clarify

It's more dependant upon frame and clamp, rather than the post itself.Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos0

You can buy a Ritchey Torque wrench for their carbon seat post and stems. It is set to 5Nm which is the recommended torque for my Specialized Pave seatpost too. I bought one and it does the job nicely.

A couple of useful references, although neither specifically mention carbon seatposts:
