Hi All, just doing my chain in the sun, have trawled the net and this forum can't seem to find a thing on what the torque should be for the rivets when mushrooming the heads over?

Any ideas? It's a DID chain, could not find anything on their site and zero instructions with the chain or on the box. Done this several times before but can't for the life of me remember what I used to torque them to. I seem to remember about 20nm but that doesn't seem much to me.

Any ideas guys?

Cheers all.

don't think there's a specific torque, just need to make sure they're mushroomed over properly

Okay cheers. I seem to remember the last couple of times there being a torque mentioned on the instruction. I just did it to about 35nm, seemed about right.

I'll find out on the ride home shortly

Cheers.

Well that's transformed the handling! Long overdue for a chain replacement. The wheelbase is back where is should be now and it feels like i've a new gearbox in the bike.

Now just for the half dozen other jobs...

A bike aint yours till you've fixed it! having changed your chain how smug do you feel?
Good job mate.

Just feels nice to have a new one. This was faaar overdue. It's the third chain change i've done, had the bike 7 years believe it or not. Just seems that everytime it comes around I forget the odd little detail here and there haha.
