Torque spec on Quarq Riken cranks(SRAM)

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Torque spec on Quarq Riken cranks(SRAM)

The 8mm inner torque spec on the crank says 425 in-lb and the 10mm says 120 in-lb.

I dont have a 10mm, but I do have an 8mm. Seriously 425 in-lb is A LOT.

My torque wrench only goes up to like 250 in-lb...

Thoughts?

I torqued mine to 35 ft-lb (420 in-lb). I went a little under that at first and had some lateral play, so I loosened it back up (not with the torque wrench) and re-did it. No more play.

That's about the same torque as other SRAM cranks.
