Felt Bicycle - Recommended Torques for Bolted Connections

Recommended torques for bolted
connections
All bolted connections on the components of your FELT bicycle have to be tigh-
tened carefully and checked regularly to ensure the safe operation of the bike. This
is best done with a torque wrench that disengages as soon as the desired torque
has been reached.
Tighten the bolts carefully, approaching the maximum permissible torque in small
steps. Check how securely the component is fastened, as described in the respec-
tive chapters.
Where no maximum torque is given, tighten the bolts carefully in steps, checking in
between the seat of the component as described in the respective chapters.
Some components have the maximum permissible torque printed on
them. Observe these limit values whenever you find them.
Be sure to also observe the attached instructions of the component manu-
facturers!
