  1. Having a suzue hub with one good side is useless, so I did a
    test. I took a stock steel crank (alread twisted, so
    useless) and tried to see how much torque I could put on it
    before the threads gave out.

    85-90 pounds.

    Not that anyone should actually tighten them this tight (I
    could see some damge to the tapers or cranks happening)
    just some FYI

  2. Sofa said:

    This would be considerably more meaningful if we knew
    whether it was inch-pounds, foot-pounds, yard-pounds, dog-
    pounds, or just some random Sofa unit.

    Latest is I'll be in Ontario Mon 23 Feb to Sun 29 Feb. Could
    change again. Arrival date will remain the same, departure
    date may move later.

  3. Those are Sofa pounds, which after a quick check on the
    measurement convertor has those equal to foot pounds.

    I'm travelling to North Bay on the 29th, if your date is
    extended we can hook up. (I'll even go to Sudbury to see
    ya!...but I'll still owe you 10 hours 🙂 )
