Soft tuner bolt?
Soft tuner bolt?
Well, looks like I'm screwed till Monday or so... Can't get hub-centric rings from anywhere in the area.
I also have a concern with my new 'tuner bolts'. Instead of the normal 17mm Mini hex head, I have an approx 15mm hex key type head on my tuner bolts, which came with a 19mm bolt to 15mm key adapter. When tightening my bolts down to 88 ft lbs, I'm pretty sure I started stripping most of them, and probably almost fully stripped one. I'll have to remove these and put them back on once I get my rings, which concerns me.
My question is, does anyone have experience with tuner bolts? If they're softer than the Mini bolts, do they still need to be torqued to 88 ft lbs?
