what should i tighten my nuts to?

lol, well, bolts really but it wouldn't have made as good a title

er, rear brake discs bolted to ali hubs, don't want to under tighten them and have them fall out, or over tighten them and pull the thread out the hub (they're not cheap)


threadlock?

ah cool! cheers fella

so is torque normally just worked out by the diameter of the thread? is there any sort of table anywhere to give fiigures?

I was just a bit worrie about stripping the thread out the hub. i guess there's more pulling on the wheel studs on hard cornering. ali is probably a lot harder than i imaine
