Hi spannering my mates new carbon on one Whippet singlespeed, and found the rear brake caliper mount is loose on the frame. Took it off an d no frame damage but before i go nipiing it up properly ( the chain ring type bolts that go through the frame and the adaptor/mount, not the caliper and mount) is there a specific setting, or is it just "sensibly tight", whatever that is on carbon! ( presumbaly not tighten until the paint starts to splinter around the hole, curse softly, and back off a quarter turn, and hand back frame to mate very quietly and say nothing!)( PS Pete just in case you're reading this - I DIDN'T!!!)
TIA

I think on the Q&A section on the Whippet frame page on On-One's site there is a recommended torque figure.
On my wife's Whippet I just greased the bolts and did them up fairly tight and it has been fine.
Just looked and it is 8Nm.
Hi Jason, and thanks
can't see that on teh site myself, so any chance of a linky for my buddy for future reference.
thanks again!! STW to the rescue!
