[QUOTE="whenfoxforks-ruled, post: 1412386, member: 73147"] Threads are measured in threads per inch, or threads per mm, or what ever the French use. A different amount of threads per inch, has a different pitch/angle. When abused, you should be able to see the angle change, right where the nut seats at. If it was 10 threads per 10 mm for example, it will still have that amount under the nut, but in changes angle where it gets torqued at, the thread gets stretched/pulled stripped. I have some fleabay parts, head and cylinder. Right above or below, where the head nuts normally go, you can see a different angle on the studs. This top end was a hopeless head gasket leaker. Even using the torque wrench, would not help, at this point. The studs and nuts need to get replaced, the head and top of cylinder are waiting to get resurfaced. The pinch bolts on the fork clamps. Too tight will seize the parts inside from sliding up and down smoothly. Too loose and the front wheel will twist in odd directions upon impact. Properly torqued, no issues, unless the threads have issues. Stripping 4 mm aluminum threads can be stopped, after you make sure the threads are good to begin with! Otherwise, that torque wrench is just a dandy leverage bar? Sometimes a weapon. [/QUOTE]
