TORQUES
All screw connections must be tightened with an appropriate torque wrench. Proper use prevents overtightening and breaking of the bolts.
The torques indicated below are for unlubricated threads. Lubrication affects the friction coefficient, so that you need to choose a lower torque for lubricated bolts.
The following table shows all necessary torques for your bike.

*This torque is a value which must not be exceeded. Normally, a lower torque is sufficient for a safe connection. Especially when using assembly paste, the torque can often be reduced significantly below
this value, as the solid particles in the assembly paste increase the friction significantly.
Tip: The lower the tightening torque of the screws, the less stress is placed on the component - this is particularly important for carbon components.

TORQUE
The maximum tire pressure depends on the tire width and the inner rim width. The following table might be of help when adjusting the tire pressure. Do not exceed the maximum tire pressure! On bikes with

originally fitted tires, the maximum tire pressure can be determined from the tire width. You can find the tire width on the sidewall of the tire. On mountainbikes, it makes sense to choose a tire pressure that
is lower than the maximum pressure for higher grip. The minimum tire pressure is also marked on the tire sidewall and you should not fall below this value. The tire pressure for trail, enduro, freeride and
