Torque settings
WARNING
Only use proper tools to tighten screws and bolts. Observe the specified torque setting. The component manufacturer's torque settings take precedence
(where available). Failure to comply can result in screws/bolts becoming loose, tearing away or fracturing. If that happens while riding the bike,
components may come off and you could have a severe crash. If fixings are overtightened other components can also be damaged. Tighten all safety-
relevant screws and bolts with a torque wrench. This indicates the corresponding torque in newton meters (Nm) or foot pound [ft·lb].
Correct tightening force on fasteners –nuts, bolts, screws– on your bike is important. Too little force and the fastener may not hold securely. Too much
force and the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening force can result in component failure, which can
cause you to lose control and fall.
