What is the torque for the front axle bolt? 1 Year, 10 Months ago  
I just took the front wheel off on my new Roadie and reversed it because some dummy at the dealership put the front tire/wheel on backward. Can someone quickly tell me the torque spec for the front axle and front axle pinch bolt?

Thanks!

Ken

I learned to use factory torque specs on everything. You will get fooled a lot, either too tight or too loose when done by feel compared to the torque spec's.
