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?:puzzled:

its a 36mm socket for sure :D

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 ??!!!! :puzzled::puzzled:

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.%.... :devil:

Ducks, grabs coat & heads for cover :lol:

'Kin 'ell....trying to get you lot to agree anything is like getting unanimity in the HoC !

So its 180nm is it ?

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
