Mounting the front tire

[LoHo]

While I'm waiting for one of you to make the "Well, first you buy your front tire a drink!"-joke, let me throw this out as a cautionary tale:

If you have had your front tire off and then put it back on, be sure that you followed the manual instructions for torques and sequence. I have replaced my tire a couple of times and just tightened bolts until it looked right. The manual has a specific sequence and possible dire consequences for not doing it properly. The combination of a new tire and proper mounting has made a big difference to EffingBee's handling, along with improved mileage, hair regrowth, and a more satisfying sex life...

That part about the more satisfying sex life indicates you DID buy the tire a drink or two....

You talking wheel here, or really the tire?

Haven't seen any torque specs for tire, so my guess at a stretch would be alternate choice.

Maybe I need a new torque wench...
