Complete Guide to Torque Specifications for SAVA Bicycle Screws
Ensuring that every screw on your bicycle is tightened to the correct torque specifications is crucial for riding safety and extending the lifespan of your bike. SAVA bicycles are known for their high quality and exceptional performance, but proper installation and maintenance are equally important. This article provides a detailed guide to the torque specifications for various screw locations on SAVA bicycles, helping you better maintain your beloved ride.
