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.

I read that Shimano recommends 260 - 290 inch pounds for axle nuts
which is 28Nm - 32Nm.

Excellent, thank you!

Dome nuts are the original component. 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.

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 :-)

The saying goes that the dome will protect the
threading of the axle, right?

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...
