Re: replacement tips drive coupling
Couldn't have said it better myself! The torque setting given seems to be stupidly low. But it's all to do with the grip on a taper (see previous page and physics lesson!). DO NOT EXCEED THE TORQUE FIGURE GIVEN

Re: replacement tips drive coupling
Interesting thread, I've been guilty of wrecking some QH couplings in the past by overtightening, I now have a torque wrench for bike repairs that will go this low.
The service memo shows this has always been an issue!

Re: replacement tips drive coupling
providing of course the threads are the right length, I know the ones on mine stick out a fair bit more than 1.6mm beyond the nut when still rattle loose but then they are not original

Re: replacement tips drive coupling
It's NOT the thread length that matters. It's the torque that you tighten the nuts up to.
