Hi guys, So had some new tyres put on my bike ( M7RR's seeing everyone is saying how great they are ), first run out on Saturday with them.... The bike shop, I watched put my tyres on, seemed to be chatting away and just put a big spanner on the wheel nuts / axle to tighten, I said,"don't you use a torque wrench for that" which I was told "no not for wheel nuts, just the callipers, you just tighten them up". They obviously have done this a lot more than me! The silly question, I am sure its fine ( my previous tyre shop used a torque wrench tho hence the question )..... but......my wheels won't depart from the bike whilst I am racing around, causing a bit of mischief?
I'm sure it'll be fine, but I would have it torqued. A lot of 'mechanics' say they have a torque wrench in there elbow, Tell that to Rossi. The thing is you have a doubt in your mind you'll never be 100o/o happy, go to your local garage get it done and see if your tyre fitter is correct or not.
