Special tools, skills, and knowledge
may be required. Improper mechanical

recommend that owners always have
mechanical work done by an
Authorized GT Dealer.
Tightening Torques
Correct tightening torque for the fasteners
(e.g., bolts, screws, nuts, etc.) on your
bicycle is very important to your safety.
Correct tightening torque for the fasteners
is also important for the durability and
performance of your bicycle. We urge you
to have your dealer correctly torque all
fasteners using a torque wrench. If you
decide to torque fasteners yourself,
always use a torque wrench.
Find Tightening Torque Information :
The wide range of bicycle models and
components used means that a listing
of tightening torques would be out of
date by the time it was published.
Many fasteners should be installed
with a thread locking adhesive such as
Loctite®.
To determine correct tightening torque
and any adhesive application for a
fastener, we ask you to check for the
following:
1. On-product markings Many
components are marked. .
2. Torque specs in the component
manufacturers instructions shipped
with your bicycle.
3. Torque specs listed on the websites
of component manufacturers.
4. With your dealer. Dealers have
access to current data and have
experience with correct torques for
most fasteners.
