Hi
Would anyone know where I would get torque settings for a Giant xtc c3 composite frame.
Can't seem to find any info on the Giant website.

Thanks guys and help would be appreciated.

    There are not any.

    Torque figures tend to relate to the thread size of the bolts.

    Just fit them.

    Your seat clamp bolt is 5nm and front mech should be 6/8nm from what i remember
