With the new vented /4 front hub coming out soon (prototype next week I hope), proper torque of the wheel bolts will be critical as in not too tight.
(factory specs okay) There is a safety factor built in of course, but if you don't use a torque wrench and have the strength of a gorilla, "something" is going to give (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-3-1067558082.jpg) |
