Torque setting for Scott S20 stem

[snowysdad]

Hi all
Check the pic out, anyone know the correct torque setting for the main bolt (middle / top of stem) on top of my forks?

Many thanks

Ps: it isn't stated / stencilled on or near the bolt.

If you mean the one dead centre and not the bolt that clamps the stem to the steerer, it doesn't have a torque. You snug it down until you take up the play in the forks. Don't go too tight or the steering will be too tight and if too loose the forks will rock. There are plenty of YouTube instructionables that will explain it better than me.

Sorted, thanks, loosen 2 side ones, firm up the top then re-tighten the sides (to the correct torque) ....simples!

Cheers YouTube!

That's good, glad you are sorted.
Sorry, I forgot the bit about slackening the pinch screws first. Now you see why I referred you to You Tube!
