hi just got an Easton stem, carbon, anyone idea what sort of setting I should do the steerer clamp and also the bar clamp as there are no torque settings shown on it?

Any ideas :?

    Easton proucts usually have the recommended torque stamped on them somewhere.

    As such, their installation guide refers to to 'the torque specified on the clamp surface of the stem.'

    but this one for the EC 90 has more info:

    Nothing stamped at all, it's the ea or ec 70 stem but no torque values anywhere!
    Hmmm :?

    My Zipp carbon stem is a max of 6Nm, so whack it on 5 and you'll be fine.
