so I need the torque settings.

 

No such thing on a Robin Hood Just Tight and very tight.

 

What exactly do you want to check on the suspension?

P.S. sorry, that wasn't very helpful, but couldn't resist it. Tight's tight, too tight's failed (!!!)

Its all common sense really i.e. 10mm spanner (m6 bolt) 16-20nm 13mm spanner (m8 bolt) 30-40nm 17mm spanner (m10 bolt) 50-70nm and so on but remember if it is a fine thread it is less torque

Trust "Sir Chris" to give the boring answer

 

Mr Perfection

[Guest paul2]

you always get one

[Guest TerryBarry]

Mr Perfection

 

I thought that the SI unit of torque (Newton.metre) is shown as Nm - not nm

 

So it's only Mr Close-to-Perfection then

as tight as it will go plus half a turn

There are in fact two Robin Hood torque settings according to the videos:

 

'There for keeps' and

 

'Supersonic'
