Hi there, I was wondering if anybody could help me out and tell me how much torque there should be on the different screws on the 0G-Ti calipers? I didn't get a manual with them and couldn't find anything about troque specs either on their site or here.

Thanks!

back nut 60-70in-lbs (6.8-7.9Nm)
cable fixing bolt 70in-lbs (7.9Nm)
pads 70-80in-lbs (7.9-9Nm)

In my opinion you can use significantly less with the pads and probably less with the cable fixing bolt as well. Try 4-6Nm first...or just go by feel...that's what I prefer to do with simple things such as calipers.

thanks guys! I was worried most about the cablefixing bolt, but 7.9Nm is quite a lot.
