Torques
WaRninG
Material fatigue caused by incorrect tightening of screw
connections.
Risk of accident and injury!
• Do not use the bicycle if you notice any loose screw
connections.
• Screw connections must be properly tightened with a
torque wrench and the correct torque level.
The correct torques must be observed in order to correctly tighten
screw connections. This requires the use of a torque wrench with
a corresponding range of adjustment.
•
If you do not have any experience with using torque wrenches,
you should ask your specialist dealer to check your screw con-
nections.
•
Individual bicycle components are labelled with information
about the appropriate torques or with markings showing inser-
tion depths. You must make sure to observe these specifica
-
tions and markings.
This table does not list all components. Torque specifications are to
be used as basic values and do not apply to carbon components.
