keithm Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 1 pound-force inch (lbf-in) = 0.1129848 newton meter (Nm) 0r 1 newton meter (Nm) = 8.85075 pound-force inch (lbf-in) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mags Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 MMMMMmmm! I'm confused! Does the PSI stand for pounds per sq inch? If so, thats a measurement of pressure and Newton Metres is a measurement of force. You can do PSI to Newton/Square Metres. Is there such a thing a table or chart that gives psi in Nm??? What is the diameter and thread of the fastener and is it into aluminium? Mags 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idmcc_sec Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 15 lb/ft = 20.3 Nm PSI - no idea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffsgasgas Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 They probably meant to say foot pounds but it came out PSI. I wouldn't suspect that they have torqued the head at 15 in pounds. Keep in mind that this is probably a Spanish manual translated by a buddy for a case of beer. --Biff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Bultaco manual (from InMotion) states 12 ft.lbs which is 16 Nm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks for the replies afrer a "caja de San Miguel" it has become clearer in my head as guys posted 12ft.lbs it is then stocking up on " inspiration fluid SM." before i check my Tyre pressures 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mags Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 The ideal gas mix for your tyres is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% water... if you can find that mix locally? Mags 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 If i fill the front tyre with 100% nitrogen will it be easier to wheelie ? and also if I lose control over rocky terrain could I then breath in the nitrogen from the inner tube to ease the pain ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the difference of only 4 Molecular Mass M (kg/kmol) is not enough, you need to use Helium of course! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
