I'm looking for the torque spec for the nuts that hold the wheel halves together and the same spec for the lugs.

Thanks

Rick, I don't know the answer but I'm pretty sure there's a topic about this already on here. I had a set of 8-spokes that I was keeping for a rainy day (now sold to pay for a vet's bill for a cat!) which is why it sticks in my mind.
