11.1. BOLT SIZE / TORQUE SPECS
WARNING! Correct tightening force on fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws) on your bicycle is important
for your safety. If too little force is applied, the fastener may not hold securely. If too much force is
applied, the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening
force can result in component failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall.
Where indicated, ensure that each bolt is torqued to specification. After your first ride, and
consistently thereafter, recheck the tightness of each bolt to ensure secure attachment of the
components. The following is a summary of torque specifications in this guide:
LOCATION IN-LBF Nm LOCATION IN-LBF Nm
SEAT COLLAR 45 5.1 FRONT AXLE 133 15
SEATPOST @ SADDLE 120 13.5 CRANK BOLTS 443 50
STEM @ STEERER TUBE 52 6.0 CHAINRING BOLTS 89 10*
STEM @ HANDLEBAR 52 6.0 SPIDER LOCKRING 443 50
DERAILLEUR HANGER 35 4 REAR BRAKE GUIDES 6 0.7
REAR AXLE 133 15 WATER BOTTLE BOLTS 25 2.8
CAUTION: Ensure all contact surfaces are clean and bolt threads are greased or have a
threadlocking compound (refer to the instructions for each bolt) prior to installation.
* Apply blue loctite to chainring bolts.
11.2. FRAME SPECIFICATIONS

WARNING! VADO frames are compatible only with VADO rigid forks or suspension forks with
50mm maximum fork travel. Use of different forks negatively affect geometry and ride quality,
and, most importantly, may result in catastrophic failure of the frame which may result in serious
personal injury or death.
11.3. RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURES
Proper tire pressure is critical for optimal performance. Tires with higher pressure will typically roll faster and provide
less rolling resistance, but provide less traction. Tires with lower pressure will typically provide increased traction
and control at the expense of rolling resistance.
Use a quality pressure gauge and refer to the tire pressure recommendations written on the side of the tires.
Because of the extra weight of the VADO, as a rule of thumb, tire pressure should generally be
higher compared to a regular bicycle.
