So i,ve just got a new frame under warranty and just finished buying new bits as the new frame is a 29er. I rang the bike shop up to ask them for torque settings as the shimano one seemed high, the bike shop said 4 - 5nm (this is for the front mech btw), so i set the torque wrench to 4 tightening things up and CRACK! so i take the mech off only to see a small crack in the seat tube. I figured i need to ring the shop tommorrow when theres someone there. but what if they tell me to **** off, can i get it repaired its carbon btw. Any help would be appreciated.
As daft as it sounds are you sure the mech is the right size.......?
you can get it repaired for quite cheap. just goggle carbon repairs.
Yeah the mech is the right size, i checked that before i started to fit it.
was the wrench set to Nm and not lb ft?
The wrench only has a Nm setting, ill just have too ring customer services tommorrow i suppose they were brilliant with the other frame replacement. just had the vernier on the seat tube and the measurments are all over the place so will just have to see what they say.
