FAQ
Does the TiNE mount change caliper alignment?
No. The bolt length and thread pitch match stock. The sunken head only changes the outer face depth — caliper position stays identical.
Do I need to re-torque after installing?
Follow your frame maker's recommended torque — roughly 8-10 Nm. Mark the bolt head after torquing to verify it hasn't shifted.
