Hey guys, new poster here. My wife has a Fierte Ti with the carbon seat stay, and a Ti chain stay. They are held together (by the rear derailleur) with a single T50 Torx bolt.

My wife (after putting on ~ 3,500 miles in 12 months) recently had "the creak". I started by checking bolt tightness, and found this T50 was fairly loose. What is the proper spec for tightening this bolt? i.e. 50ft*lbs, 75ft*lbs?

If this doesn't fix it, then we get to ti-prep all the clamps/ fittings.

Even any general guidelines for how tight you'd tighten this bolt. i.e. tight, then a quarter turn, or use loc-tite and don't tighten much. Thanks!
