Torquing the Front Brake Caliper

[Jerry]

Does anyone know the correct torque setting for the bolt that holds the front brake caliper to the front fork? Fork is a Serotta S3 and the caliper is a SRAM Force. Currently the caliper wants to rotate which results in one brake pad dragging. Thanks! :)

is 8-10 nm. are u using one of those toothed washers between the caliper and the fork. sometimes those washers can steady things up. but you probably knew that.

are you using the serotta specific "recessed allen nuts" to fasten the calipers? on a recent build i learned that the nuts have a specific flange. this was for an F3 fork. don't know if S3 is the same. i contacted serotta and oredered the correct nuts, front and rear. worked perfect.

this was the thread where i learned about it:
