Front wheel Secure?

[waynesturt]

Good Morning All,
Near the end of my riding season last year I had my speedo gear assembly replaced on the front wheel. I watched as my buddy completed the job and tightened the nut on the axle. It looked good and tight to me.

My question is: Should I be re-tightening the nut on that axle bolt(because I have put on some miles) or does it stay tightened with the forward motion of the front wheel.

Thanks

If the axle bolt and pinch bolts are properly torqued, then no further action is required.

Checked some of the other threads. WingAdmin did a fork rebuild and details that the torque value for the front axle is 65 ft-lb and the pinch bolts are 16 ft-lb. If your friend did not torque the bolts, these are the values to use - only takes a few minutes with the front wheel off the ground. Cheers

It never hurts to check. I would. Normally tho, the front axle, if torqued correctly, is good till the next tire change.
