Definitely a new skill that I don't ever wish to use again. Already been wondering about how to get my moneys worth from the tap, but I suppose it'll just have to sit derelict!Cyclepeasant wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 10:00 pm Excellent result Shaf!

I know it's not Friday, but it will be soon eid. So... Thought to share some good news here, mainly for Wotsits I guess...
This morning I removed both wheels and checked the torques. Previously checking the torques on the fronts (bearings replaced and discs broken so he replaced them too, by Lexu Indy Specialist) I found em to be well over 160nM. I assume that was done up *in tight to prevent litigation.
Anyway, checked my problem bolt side and the torques were still nice and tight at about 150nM (it's an old Draper torque wrench that relies on deflection of the extra bar). In fact my non-problem side which was where needed a caliper rebuild in the first place (done a qeek or so ago) was actually slightly lower at about 110nM. All well above specs, but since Dave had done the fronts up to over 150nM I did the same with the backs.
Happy days Alhamdulillah and I can start (carefully) booting it again.
