    horizontal dropout

    Hey all, a couple of questions please:

    There is a small spring clip on the downtube cable adjusters on a Dura-Ace equipped carbon bike. Does anyone know what it is for and where one might get one. I lost one and made a substitute but would like to know if I should try and find an original replacement.

    Does anyone have torque settings for the various parts of a carbon bike? I need to do a bit of servicing.

    thanks

    Good advice that. Get
    Good advice that. Get yourself a good torque wrench and get googling.
    If you find yourself having to give something real welly other than say a cassette or chain set bolt then you might be about to make a very expensive mistake. I speak from experience unfortunately. If In doubt take it in to a mechanic, they’re often very good at telling you how to do stuff for the future too..

    You can generally get torque
    You can generally get torque values by googling the specific part + torque and you should get a lot of responses and probably find a site that has more than just one part on your bike.
