    You only need to tighten the inner 8mm hex. It should (if it’s a decent rip-off of the DUB style but with a 24mm spindle) go up to ~54Nm which is a massive amount of torque. Like, you need a decent sized wrench + 8mm bit to do it.

    You need to (again, assuming DUB style due to the use of the preload collar visible in your second photo)

    – Tighten 8mm hex to 54Nm

    – set preload by twisting collar to remove side-to-side movement

    – tighten the tiny hex (very lightly probs like 1-2Nm) on the collar

    That massive outer hex that’s visible in your first photo is just the extractor cap, since your cranks are self-extracting.

    Here is a screenshot from one of the product pages.
    You need to tighten it to 54Nm, that is A LOT. A lot more than you can do with a “normal” allen key. You need a LONG wrench, and even then you need to put a lot of force (your whole body weight) on it.

    For reference, a cassette needs to be tightened to about 40Nm, so this is even more than that.

    I have that Crankset and it use to come loose while riding until I torque it as tight as I could, no torque wrench but it has never come loose since then. Maybe one day I’ll torque it to specs
