Seat tube and head tube - torque specifications
Does anyone know the torque specifications for the following? The integrated seat post in my Aerolight and the head tube/stem? I've done some searching online and I cannot find the information. I also contacted the bike shop and they are not getting back to me, so I am at a loss.
The stem is an EVO Monocoque ACR
The headset is FSA ACR
Thank you for your help.

The top cap bolt is only tightened until play is taken out of the headset after which the pinch bolts are tightened to the correct torque

OK, OK, I broke down and went and looked for you.....
HERE YOU GO
It's the number one hit when Googling BH EVO Mono ACR Stem instructions
The instructions actually state not only the Torque figures but.... "Do not go above maximum torque rating printed on the stem."
I suspect you'll find it on the Stem if you look, it's usually hidden underneath.

As posted above there is no torque setting for the top cap. The stem clamp bolts are most likely 5.0-5.2nm like nearly other stem on the planet that uses M5 bolts. I have no idea about the seat post, but I'd remove it from the frame and see if there's anything printed on the post itself.
