Does anyone know what the torque setting is for the rear wheel?  I tightened my chain today and when I was done and re-tightened the rear wheel nut back up my gun was set to 75 (but i didnt notice that until I had finished).  Just thought I would ask if thats to high or if Im good?  Ive read that over torquing can lead to premature wheel bearing wear outs.  But until i know the rear wheel nut torque specs I dont know where im at... :dunno_white:

That's a little high but I don't see how it can affect wheel bearing life.
