General Torque Settings for our Bikes
Torque for bike components and frame hardware is good to keep an eye on as it’ll mean there’s no chance of you snapping or rounding any bolts or running them too loose and having components fail. These specs are updated occasionally by manufacturers sometimes and for any parts that require specific torque, we’d recommend sticking to the torque specified for that part. Quite often parts such as seatclamps and stem faceplates have a torque printed on them also, if so please torque to the amount given.
