• I think I’ve asked this before, but does anyone know the correct tightening torque for the pinch bolts on the EBB of an Arkose? I’ve asked Evans and they told me “finger tight” and then sent me a link/path to Cannondale manual on their local harddrive...

  • Do you mean the bolts under the BB? (Sorry if that's a stupid question, I had the olive green old model, don't know if is still the same)
    If it's the same, I used to put grease in the block so it doesn't get seized and then torqued the bolts as evenly and strongly as possible, otherwise it slowly moved backwards under my massive watts.

  • It's the old olive green one, yeah. Mine is moving a bit too, even without massive wattage. I just like torqueing things to spec instead of by feel.

  • Talked to the same employee as yesterday. He now claimed to have talked to the Pinnacle 'brand team' and said 10 Nm was the correct value. Seems way off for an M8 fastener, unless it's low grade steel. Plus the fact that tightened at 10 Nm it would spin with the lightest load applied.
