rear axle help .

(1/4) > >>

blackkx:
 Just wondering how tight the rear axle nut should be . I think i tightned it to much , because after a 4 hour ride today it started making a loud popping sound when i spun the rear tire backwards on the stand . I thought it was my rear brake but i loosened the axle nut a 1/4 turn and the popping went away . Did i over tighten it ? please help ...... :? :? :?

blackkx:
 i geuss its fine the brear brake functions properly and the tire spins nice and smoothly now . Nothing else on the rear of the bike seems to be positoned wierd or overtightened in any way , should i leave this problem at rest and just ride the bike or should i be more concerned?

Wizzy214:
the rear axle nut just has to be snug, not too tight make sure you have a cotter pin or safty wire on the bolt, so you dont lose your axle nut!!!!

blackkx:
 cool . thanks man and yes i do have a cotter pin trhoug the nut .

You should torque the rear axle,   98N-m  (10 kg-m, 72 ft.lb.)
