The notion that made in China = low quality whilst made in the USA = high quality is laughable.
So why are you laughing at yourself? Because I never said made in the USA equals high quality, owning American cars will tell you that! Reread what I said. If you're going to argue with me, or anyone else, you need to be able to comprehend what is written first; therefore you must be laughing at yourself.

Not this sh!t again. I stopped visiting roadbikereview because of the political d!ck wagging. No one cares.

What might be appropriate torque for an Elita One rail clamp bolt? I cracked my lower rail cradle at 5Nm. Seller sent me a new one and said that 5.1Nm is the recommended max torque. I'm a bit afraid to tighten it to 5Nm if it will brake again.

I would do 5 N-m with threadlocker.

I guess I'll try 5Nm again. If it breaks again I'll just keep using a Thomson cradle that I have there now.
