I am a new one here, maybe the question was already answered , anyway:
have a JP x cite pro 130, last time on the spot my footstrap was completely released, even I tight srews before.
I've checked plastic anti twist nuts, everything OK, but the foam is slightly damaged.
I am afraid what torque to use for tightening the srews, not to damage inserts?
Shall I change the position of the footstrap?
Shall I change the anti twist plastic nuts for inox nuts?

I am not frustrating as it looks from the post, but it is annoying, all the time using screwdriver.

Hope someone has some idea?


Cheers!

With the correct sized screwdriver, almost as tight as you possibly can. The anti twist plastic bit will only work if the plastic teeth really dig into the strap. You say some foam damage - do you mean the foam pads are slightly squashed? The foam should be squashed down to 1mm flat and never recover if the straps have been screwed on correctly

Mark_ausralia, thank you fir the suggestion. I hope that I found the issue, after thigtening the screw, foam is squeezed, but after aprox 1 hour, should be retightened, because foam is deformated and screw need then some additional force.
I will check it next week, on the spot in Croatia

Cheers!
