Hi there, jus wondering if anyone out there can tell me or link me to the correct torque adjustments for setting up the Middleburn Hollowtech system including pre-load screw.
thanks
Don't think they quote figures. From my experience I managed to snap the bolt on mine by being hamfisted so have been quite moderate since with no issues of slipping.
The pre-load screw needs to be tightened up and then slackened so there is very slight play across the cranks, its not noticable when riding, any tighter will put stress on the bearings. The grub screw only needs to be nipped tight.
The alloy bolt on mine sheared off at the handsof my lbs using a torque wrench set to the specified torque that i cant remember the replacement split in 2 when i came to remove them so i areplaced it with the steel bolt from some old shimano altus cranks. and just do it up ft. tighten the collar lightly with finger tips and nip up the screw. Oh and that little screw was in the wrong way from the factory to a few goes to figure out why i could still move the collar.
