Is anyone sure about the torque? I am looking at doing this this week and would hate to overtighten/ruin anything. Let me know if anyone knows.....for sure. thanks.

I did mine lastnight. Haynes says (converted to standard US) 28.76 ft/lbs.

I used playdoh method. NO GAP, dead spot on placement. Of course I'm meticulous and wouldn't offer to do any friend's bikes because of the time invested and the risk of a missed cut.

Note that the two provided spindles aren't the same size. The smaller spindle and shorter bolt go on the left side of the bike.




Left side of the bike...as in when you're sitting on the bike the left side, right? Just making sure becasue I'm going to be installing my vortex frame sliders on my bike next week sometime.

I was wondering if anyone knew if a vortex frame slider for an f4 will fit on an f3. 

Good write up
