setting the rear end properly can be tedious, but well worth the time given what you have to go thru to get at everything. Print out Tom's splendid article and follow the instructions to a T and it will be time well spent. I know he prefers the dial type inch-pound wrench but they are hard to find and pricey. I have had good luck with the beam-type torque wrench and double check my work a couple times; spin it round and round. Even these can be tough to find, but bicycle shops use inch pound wrenches all day long and sometimes sell them, or go online to get one, they are inexpensive (20-25 bucks). You usually have to use several adapters to get the wrench on pinion since the inch pound wrenches are 1/4 inch drive.
