Torque setting for Brembo Calipers

As the Brembo calipers are alloy, I suspect the torque setting will be lower than 275nm as used with the standard cast iron carriers on the D3. This is the bolt that secures the carrier to the hub, but in the case of the Brembo, the caliper bolts directly onto the hub.

Hope that makes sense? Embarassed

Does anybody know what this setting is?

Thanks
John

I torqued mine to 275Nm, same as normal. Also torqued every other Brembo equipped RRS to the same, and had no issues Thumbs Up My D3 Build Thread

Ah OK thanks for that. Thumbs Up

I just thought it might be lower due to the different metal.

Thanks

Just to confirm the 275Nm, this is from the RRS manual:
