kind of a stupid question I guess...when making adjustments on the various things on my bike, how tight do I tighten the bolts?
I just threw on a pair of bar ends and I had to move the brakes and shifters in and I wasn't too sure how tight to make the bolts when I went to retighten them. I'm worried that if I don't tighten it enough it will come loose at the wrong time, and if I tighten it too much I could wind up damaging something. Is there a certain tightness I should be aiming for or is it just a general thing?
