Graham Sewell Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 From memory: Torque settings for all Caterham wheels is 80Nm (55lbft) Low tech luddite - xflow and proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puremalt Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 Yep, absolutely right 55lb ft it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puremalt Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 Sorry, forgot the second part. Try 18 psi, or 1-2 lb less. The 14" are 20psi, and the larger the wheels, the lower the pressure. Dave Robertson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 I'd go for 18 psi on a 14" wheel for road use, possibly lower but certainly not higher. Deeps Deep down you know it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puremalt Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 Just doing what the owners handbook says Deeps. Dave Robertson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
