Carbon frameset torque spec
Looking to install some bottle cages on a Salsa Warbird, and this is my first carbon bike. Is there a torque spec for that?

There is, and it is probably quite low, like 3 or 4 Nxm, i.e., jus tight enough, and no more so. But it would be FAR better to get that info from Salsa. If you exceed the spec and damage the frame, I doubt a warranty will be honored.

Bottle cage bolts are usually 2Nm...aka, just past finger tight. Most torque wrenches aren't very accurate that low, so no need to use one.
And be sure to put some kind of anti-seize/grease on them.
