I have a carbon road bike with a carbon fork by Giant. The handlebars seem to keep coming loose. I a looking for a mechanic to check things out. I think the fork is all carbon even up into the steerer tube.It is a Giant Defy Advanced. I don't have a torque wrench and was a little nervous of tightening things on a carbon bike.
Thanks,
Dave

Steven and Lauren at BFF Bikes. Steven is also fantastic with bike fit.
And BFF Bikes carries Giant.
Don't be.
Carbon is much, mush stronger and much less sensitive than I think many people give it credit for. As long as you are conscious of torque specs and how you clamp it in a stand you should have no issues with basic maintenance.

Thanks for all the great advice. I do plan on getting a torque wrench too. Just a little shy about working on carbon.
