How do you set the torque for the tapered bearings with this style axle?

You don't "set the torque" on tapered brgs ... you set the "End Play" which has nothing to do with the axle nut torque.

You just torque the axle/nut the same as you normally would

Sorry, didn’t say that how I meant. Not completely with it this morning, and my mind was on both axles and wheel bearings.

I didn’t see a way to accurately torque this style of axle, so I thought I’d ask.

Assuming the Adjure is laid put similar to the Klock, it should be about like this... Shame Adjure doesn't have any better pics of theirs.

‘I see!’, said the blind man! Thanks guys for helping me get my head around how those work. I think I’ll give it a shot and see how it works for me. Still getting my powder coat batch together so I have time to order one.
