Edit: ha, i see Magyar Kiwi beat me to it as i was composing the following

Wonder if it might be a tolerance?

Ie minimum of 12 mkp, but tolerance up to 2 more mkp more, ie for a total if 14 mkp, say, if 12 just doesn’t seem snug enough.

And what the heck kind of torque measurement is a metre-kilopond (mkp) anyway? Apparently it’s about 9.8 Newton meters… when did they drop mkp and switch to Nm?

Anyway tomorrow i guess I’ll torque those gland nuts to 94 ft-lb and see what happens…
