40Nm doesn’t seem crazy high in practice. I regularly use a torque wrench to reach that cassette lockring value. And yet the ring is typically quite easy to take off, with greased threads of course. While most of us have a good feel for the needed tightness of various bike threads, I often prefer

Ridewithgps lets you build routes on your pc and navigate them through the iPhone app. It does audible directions as well.
