serpentracer Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 your bike wont come apart or explode from any of those bolts not being "exact"do the axle to around 80the calipers to about 30pinch bolts are usually about 10-15and the front axle is usually 60-70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) oh look out it's going to explode or strip a bolt. if you are really that ignorant about tightening a bolt here and there, do your bike a favor, sell your tools and take it to a shop. I guess you're one of those guys who uses a new crush washer every oil change and uses a torque wrench on the oil drain plug too.you'd probably cry a river if you've ever seen a car put together on an assembly line with air tools and no torque wrenches.about the only thing they build on cars with a torque wrench is the wheels and engine parts.

chevysoldier Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 A car is a lot less dangerous if your caliper falls off than on a bike. Anytime I have something off on my bike, especially those things the OP asked for specs on, I torque them to what they say. I'd rather be sure they are tight enough than have my front caliper fall off and make me crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Aluminum and magnesium parts have a very bad habit of warping or cracking, especially with heat and cooling cycles, if not torqued correctly, both the amount of torque, and accuracy of the pattern of torque. High heat cycles on some ferrous materials, like brake rotors on a car axle, can exhibit the same warping disasters. I'll think I'll leave it at that.edit: I torque absolutely everything.

Bc i work at a car dealership and youd b suprise how many things these days require a certain torque. Alot of our bolts require a torque angle gauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what to use a torque wrench on. We don't torque every bolt. Sure I know I could tighten by hand those bolts, or I could be absolutely sure they are right and not have to worry about it. Quality, self-assurance, safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrillo Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Seriously guys? Busting balls because someone is doing something right and using a torque wrench? Shut the fuck up. If you're in aluminum I'd say use a torque wrench every damn time, steel isn't such a big deal, but either way I wouldn't be doggin on someone for not wanting to fuck shit up. Grow up you asshat/s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
