how many nm for dome nuts on wheel axle?
Today I tried the torque wrench for dome nuts
on a single speed rear wheel axle. I put torque to 45 nm which I got from a MTB casette. I don't know how hard I have been pulling them hitherto but my intuition tells me this was considerably harder. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

I read that Shimano recommends 260 - 290 inch pounds for axle nuts which is 28Nm - 32Nm. -- Cheers, John B. |

To get anything else would be impractical as there are so many such bikes around, and besides I don't see anything wrong with using dome nut and washers. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

As long as you check to be sure that the axle/bold won't screw in so deep that it hits the bottom of the threads in the nut. Probably dome nuts look better but regular old nuts hold just as well :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

I suppose if the bike falls over or strikes into other objects when people muscle it into and out of over-crowded racks. Perhaps dirt will find a home there rather than the more level dome... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
