didnt know there was any but if the forks slide through and knock your teeth down your throat there not quite tight enough

I've read that you have to be careful with upside down forks because if you overtighten them you can distort the tubes?

you can, but i think you,d have to really dog em up to do that. just dont use a daft long power bar or any thing just good n tight with a half inch drive ratchet should be good enough but try to do em all evenly

top 2.4kg-m
bottom 2.7kg-m
no idea how to convert that into lbs/ft or n/m
probably best to buy a jap torque wrench aswell
