Have recieved mine the other day looks very nice, any tricks, tips/advice on fitting or is it just a case of bolt it up and ride!?! (Loctite on the Allen screws?)
A life has been well lived, if you have planted trees under who's shade you do not expect to sit.

I'm told I'm cynical, pessimistic and generally miserable. I say that I'm realistic! The fact that reality sucks is not my fault!

The second part is all that is required

There should have been a small tube of loc-tite included in the package for a drop on each bolt. If not a drop of blue on each bolt is all you need.

Just make sure the forks still travel freely when you torque it down.

Will check the box again I may have missed it, if not I have plenty, so no panic.

What are your recommend torque settings for the brace?

Tight...

Each one is a little different due to the  sanded portion of the slider of the fork. I use an "L" shaped allen wrench and tighten until comfortable.(which is tight)

I have never applied a torque wrench.
