Re: 44 to 36 tooth sprocket swap there isn't really a proper torque for them what I go by using a 1/4 drive ratchet when it hard to tighten I stop I also use an electric screw driver to do most of the work and the ratchet for the truing.
The spokes should be sandwiched, fiber discs on both inside the wheel against the spokes and a fiber disc on the out side against the spokes. it will keep the spokes happy. if you do it different it may work for a while but you will be sorry as it will eat the spokes in the long run. There is a bad miss print on some instructions and some very bad translations on some what we tell you here is to make your ride a success and not a failure at least I ain't going to lie to ya.
