Agreed. The TA on my TCR is the "next best thing" in that it does have the arm (though it's fixed at a 90 degree angle, it doesn't swing or pivot, it's more like a handle) but it also has a hex key in it and it says to tighten to 5.5Nm. I have a handy 5Nm preset torque wrench so it makes attaching that way easier than the Cervelo.
I did just send an inquiry to RAP, since my TCR TAs are on the way. Since the TCR says 5.5Nm on their stock TA, I wanted to ensure that it's still fine to go the full 12Nm which I assume the RAPs will recommend.
