4 // SETTINGS AND VARIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS
4.9 TIGHTENING TORQUE VALUES
To guarantee the reliability of your bike, it is imperative that you tighten the screws of all
components carefully and regularly check them. Use a torque wrench in order to check these
values. Always tighten in a progressive manner in order not to apply a torque higher than the
recommended values.
Never go over the recommended maximum torque value in any case.
On some parts, the recommended torque values are indicated on the part itself. Always respect
these recommended levels.
If you cannot find the correct torque rate for your component, check the specific notice that
was provided with your bike, or ask your retailer for advice.
