Spoke torque
I ordered a spoke torque wrench from fasst company today. It turns out their preset wrenches are set to 48 inch lbs. The manual says 55 inch lbs. Fasst company said they ship a lot of presets to harley dealers all at 48 inch lbs. Is this going to be an ok torque value?

I don't have a modern OEM setup to measure or I would.
Harbor Freight sells a nice digital (in/mm) caliper for under $20... Might be surprised how often you use one once you have one.
Of course, a few quick calculations can convert fractional inches to mm...if you have a way to measure in inches.
