Carbon post in carbon frame

I couldn't find any torque specs for this type of binder on Specialized's web site.

I did find the value and will post in case anyone else is interested.
If you google 2016 specialized ruby comp and click on the first link should bring up the bike (assuming your search results are the same as mine). Scroll down and on the left you see Manuals, Specialized owners manual, pg. 50 "Wedge Seat Collar" 6.2.

Thanks for all of the info Muirenn.

I live in a small town, PEI Canada. We have 2 bike shops but neither offer fitting so going elsewhere isn't really an option. I've had bicycles all of my life so I do know how to change gears, etc. I had speed bikes when I was a kid, a 5 and then a 10 (does that show my age??) but this is my first road bike.

The bike fitting article looks really good. I will give it a good read.

Thanks again. Lots to absorb here.
