torque settings for wheels

Hello guys.
Just a quick one, has anyone got the torque settings for the front and rear wheel nuts handy?

No torque setting figures were ever given by the manufacturer except 22lbs for the alloy twin heads. All the other nuts and bolts need only be tightened using common sense effort with small spanners.

Tight but not FT. I find it handy to go for a ride around the block and then come back and just double check them.

These bikes were built before torque wrenches were a thing.

Thanks for these answers guys, it's pretty much what I thought but best to ask I guess!
