Torque Setting For M5 Bolt On Skewers
- Thread starter WD Pro
- Start date
Don't know the torque value, but the Halo ones strip the thread on the alloy first when really yanked up.
If it helps, they list 7 ft-lb

Thanks guys 
My chain of thought was that they wouldn't need to be stupid tight :
* Same thread and pitch as a ringle holey.
* Same tightening method as a ringle holey (turning rather then a traditional cam action).
* To get the same leverage / torque as a ringle holey, you would only need a small length hex wrench.
I will use the torque mentioned above and see how it 'feels' compared to a standard hex wrench
