Does the post come with 5mm bolts or 6mm? 7Nm is the usually the recommended torque value for any M5 bolt, but the larger M6 bolts that I think are used on Ritchey 2-bolt seatpost are rated for 12Nm. It should say on the post as well.

The two rail bolts require a 5mm wrench. I'm not sure whether or not the bolts are M5 or M6. I checked Ritchey's website and it says that the torque value should be on the seatpost as well; however, it's not. I can't seem to get a clear answer from Park Tool's Torque Spec Guide either. I'll take your advise and tighten to 12Nm. Thanks for your response.
