Cb750 spindle clamps
« on: September 04, 2018, 08:17:24 AM »
2 questions:
1. Refitting the spindle clamps am I right in thinking you fit them with the 'f' mark to the front , slightly thicker side, and clamp this up tight, then tighten the rear bolt to clamp the spindle. I cannot find the torque settings does anyone know what they are, it appears to be an8mm bolt ? Would around 18 lb ft be ok ?

2. Anyone know of a party that might offer an opinion or actually 're true' spoke wheels in the stockport/ high peak areas ?

Cheers
Paul
