bakewell Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 no torque figures at hand then. really don't want to brake them or strip the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 no torque figures at hand then. really don't want to brake them or strip the threads.Common sense, theres really no need to put anywhere near as much pressure on them that your run the risk of snapping them or stripping them...its holding a wheel on, not holding a bridge up.

bakewell Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 i have 135mm hub but with horizontal drop outs so it needs to be tight to stop it moving i am 16 stone and its not all fat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbra Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 also own a set of snap on.minto and love themThey work the same as any other tool. People shouldn't buy for a name. I have 'decent' tools. My allen key set is 4 years old. None have broke. My multi tool is one off tarty 1 year old. My spanners! Ready! 12 years old. None have broke!Nothing is cheap shit. But neither is it stupid f**king priced stuff either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
