rock Posted February 5, 2007 Share when re-fitting the BB cups of a shimano hollowtech II crank/bb, how tight should they be in the frame........I have read 35-50 Nm..........but quite frankly without a torque wrench, that means nothing...... any simple guide for how tight? hand tight, hit the spanner with a mallet tight? hit it twice etc. ? any other tips to prevent creaking, copper grease will be the first remedy, never really had any luck with plumbers tape ?

TitusTi Posted February 5, 2007 Share Copaslip, then tighten it pretty f_ing tight, the recommended torque is pretty high anyway. Don't use the Mallet, but it should be bloody tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoLefty!! Posted February 5, 2007 Share O don;t mine too tight since I let Threadlock keep it in place. Thread lock and copaslip don't always work lekker together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
