so what size is the Torqx bolt on the calipers?

Has anybody changed back to socket head screws?

Thanks, only because its a pain in the butt to have to have two sets of wrenches.

i changed mine to stainless capheads. was fun tryin to find the right thread but custom fastners has them in stock. you just have to cut about 3mmish off the end for em to fit proper

We also have a good fastener store here, so it should be easy.

I got a torque setting for the caliper mounting bolts from here:

28-Nm for the caliper mounting bolts, does this sound right to the "experts" out there?

When I broke them loose they seemed "way" tighter than this.

they have loctite on them originally , I use the torque setting of "Gudentite" :D
