Re: [ST] Torque spec on RS rear wheel?

[dkamest110@xxxxxxx]

I cant imagine a human
eing able to snap off the axle bolt on my RS...Maybe


Not so much "breaking bolts" but stripping and orÂpulling out the threads.....always a costly repair.

Geez Guys, 
All I needed was a torque spec, I didnt mean to start
 thread...
:-)
What I find interesting is the whole concept of
napping bolts. Being the ham fisted brute that I am,
 have done this a few times on lesser things the size
f caliper bolts and such, but I cant imagine a human
eing able to snap off the axle bolt on my RS...Maybe
 need to start eating Wheaties again....

 I does have a safety wire / clip engaged to the
 serrations on the nut,
 preventing it from vibrating loose. Am I wrong?
