Campy Crank Bolt Torque

[norcalbiker]

I have an old 10 speed campy with tapered square bottom bracket.
I followed the torque specs for the bottom bracket (51ft/lbs-70nm).
Is there a torque specs for the crankbolt? I have a record carbon crankset if that makes a difference. Or do I just tightened that bolt as much as I can.

TIA

Yes - the crankset instructions that came with the square taper carbon cranks called for 32-38 N.m. - which is pretty tight...

Thanks for the info. I found this after I posted the question. It's pretty cool and it's exactly what manufacture required. :banana:
