Oh, Robert Axle Project. Really, though, that just an extension of #1 - RAP specifies 12nm torque, which gives you a foundation for #2 and #3.
Its all tight. This has always been a problem with this bike since day one. I just didn’t sprint in the past or get out of the saddle much at all, so it didn’t bother me. Now that my riding has changed it’s more of an issue. It doesn’t rub at all in the saddle, the instant I am out of the saddle it starts rubbing as I sway the bike. Rubs on both sides. Almost like the fork is flexing too much.

I know that it's usually a good idea to avoid the comments sections of posts involving cyclists, but I often peek anyway. I only looked through the first 20 or so comments, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised, almost shocked, to see universal condemnation of this asshat. That never happens outside of cycling-specific outlets.

They'd be hard to mistake; they come out with a quarter turn. If you have to unscrew them, they're normal TAs.

I think I feel a nap coming on. I hope to get on the bike later on. A cool 91A for the high today. It's become my sweet spot. 91/92A. Unthinkable in my former life.

Yeah, I get that when out of the saddle. It's annoying. Generally I only get it when pushing down on the left pedal while the bike is leaning to the right, though if I'm REALLY honking on it I can get it on both sides. Annoying, and of course I can't tell how much the rubbing is slowing me down.

I don't think that a little pad kissin' on discs amounts to anything significant, certainly orders of magnitude less than rim brakes with their soft pad compounds. Give a wheel a spin when it's in the stand and lightly depress the brake until you get a similar zinging - it'll keep spinning for a long time.

Series X is updating. Remember when you could buy a console, pop in a game, and get to it? I do.
