Raceleda components torque settings ?
Discussion
I'm hoping there a plenty of you reading this who've fitted Raceleda uprights/calliper brackets etc BUT unlike me have kept the instruction sheet that came with the kit ???
Basically , for the second time since fitting them on my Stylus , the alloy calliper bracket has come loose. The first time it happened was on track and Bruce was still the owner of Raceleda so he drove down to BUCKS to have a look at them.He assumed I'd over torqued them (I had used the correct settings).However , he replaced the helicoils and fitted longer 25mm bolts at my request but didn't agree the short bolts were to blame. They stopped in place over the last 3 years sprinting although I have checked them with a torch and feeler gauge before going on track. Cleaning everything after my first 2008 event , I noticed the calliper slightly moving but found the calliper soundly bolted and it was the calliper bracket yet again.
SO --------- my question is ---- what is the correct torque setting for the 3 little socket heads holding the bracket to the upright ?
My memory from 3 years ago is telling me 13 ft/lbs ? but I'm really not certain.
