wheel bolts

[Iain C]

Just put my speed lines back on the cup.
The problem is i never know how tight to do up the wheel bolts.
Im 15 stone so have a bit of pressure behind me!
I snapped a bolt last time and dont wanna do that again!
Wot does everyone else do?

is there a correct setting to use listed in the manual?

do tyre fitters actually fit them to the correct tightness?

 

[Iain C]

Yeah see your point Liam?
Just dont want the wheels to fall off

 

[Liam]

nor do I Iain C, Ive never had to take my own wheels off, but if I did would try to just put them back as tight as possible.

I believe the correct torque is 90nm. I hope im correct.

Get a torque wrench, or borrow one.

Do them up to a reasonable tightness and just keep an eye on them
