Appendix B
Fastener Torque Specifi cations
Correct tightening torque of threaded fasteners is very important to your safety.
Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. In case of a confl ict between
the instructions in this Manual and information provided by a component
manufacturer, consult with a bicycle dealer or the manufacturer’s customer
service representative for clarifi cation. Bolts that are too tight can stretch and
deform. Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to
a sudden failure of the bolt.
Always use a correctly calibrated torque wrench to tighten critical fasteners on
your bike. Carefully follow the torque wrench manufacturer’s instructions on the
correct way to set and use the torque wrench for accurate results.
