Well this week is it. Im getting the fidanza 2.1 in the mail thursday. Im ordering the fork and ball friday. I wanted to know if the ball is supposed to be torqued down and what size washer do I use on the ball.
thanks
 
25-30 ft. lbs. And you shouldn't need a washer since you are replacing those parts. Usually if you do not replace those a thin washer can be used to make up for worn parts.

The washer is to space out the ball further away so that it sits deeper into the fork. If you are getting a new ball, you can bolt that down without any washers. So yeah, +1.
