WARNING:
Correct tightening torque on nuts, bolts and screws is very
important. Too little torque and these fixings may become undone. With too
much torque the fixing can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either
way, incorrect tightening torque can result in component failure, which can cause the
rider to lose control and fall.
These settings are provided as a guide for those with mechanical experience. If you do
not have any 'feel' or prior experience with torque settings, then we advise that you
utilise a torque-wrench or seek help from an experienced bike shop/mechanic.
It's good practice to test and listen for anything that may be loose. Do this by lifting
the front wheel off the ground by 6 inches, then let it bounce on the ground. Does
anything sound, feel or look loose? Do a visual and tactile inspection of the whole
bike. Are there any loose parts or accessories? If so, secure them. If you’re not sure,
contact us or seek help from a qualified bike mechanic.

DISCLAIMER
WARNING:
As with any mechanical device, a bicycle and its components are subject to wear and
high stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in different
ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail possibly causing
injuries to the rider. Any form of crack, scratches or change of colouring in highly stressed areas
indicate that the life of the component has been reached and should be replaced.
Nm (Newton metre) or ft-lb (foot-pounds) are units
of torque used when tightening bolts, etc. Please
use a Torque Meter to measure settings correctly.
