BOLT SIZE / TORQUE SPECS
WARNING! Correct tightening force on fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws) on your bicycle is important
for your safety. If too little force is applied, the fastener may not hold securely. If too much force is
applied, 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.
Where indicated, ensure that each bolt is torqued to specification. After your first ride, and
consistently thereafter, recheck the tightness of each bolt to ensure secure attachment of the
components. The following is a summary of torque specifications in this guide:
