Yes, the rear nut requires a 36mm socket. I think we've established that.

But there seems to be some doubt over the torque setting so I put up the pdf so people can look it up for themselves. It says 180 Nm (+-10%) (or 132 lbft if you're Rockhopper )

(scouse accent) Calm down, calm down.

I only know the socket size for sure cos I adjusted the chain last night.
As for the 180Nm, I personally employ a midget to come and hold the socket whilst I turn the bike.

Always been 180Nm from 03 to 06.

It also says in the manual that chain adjustment should be done by dealer.....OMG, Is my warranty void now?

Is that a 1/2in midget or 3/8th?

jesus -- this has turned into some thread..

not being funny but if you think M30 nut is the socket size (30mm) maybe someone more knowledgeable should be adjusting such a critical part of the bike ...

+ this has been covered before in this section (correctly the first time) - search !!!??

just a thought ??!!!!

if you measure a nut or bolt across flats this is the corresponding socket/spanner size. if you measure your back wheel nut you will find it is 36mm across flats

another piece of useless info

Can I just add that the tolerance on the given setting is +/- 5%, not 10.%....

Use the old method we used on aircraft....180 Nm is roughly three and a half white fingers or 4 if you are a girl....SIMPLE!!! :P
