Default Front brake caliper torque setting

Hello all,

Could anyone tell me the torgue value for the bolts that hold the front brake calipers onto the fork legs. Perhaps I'm missing it, I've looked at the torque setting list on this site and just don't see it. I'm guessing it's around 24-25 nm as with other bikes but if anyone can tell me for definate, it would be greatful.

Cheers.

Scroll on down to the Brakes section. The very first entry in that section is

Yep, got it thanks, it's the term "Slider Tube" that foxed me, why couldn't the call it a fork leg like everyone else?
