Recommended Torque Settings
All bolted connections of the bicycle components have to be tightened carefully and checked regularly to ensure
the safe and reliable operation of your STEVENS bicycle. This is best done with a torque wrench that disengages at
the desired torque value or a click-type torque wrench. Tighten carefully by approaching the prescribed maximum
torque value in small steps (0.5 Nm increments) and check in between the proper fit of the component. Do not
exceed the maximum torque value indicated by the manufacturer!
Where no maximum torque value is given start with 2 Nm. Observe the indicated values and observe the values
on the components themselves and/or in the instructions of the component manufacturers.
