who uses a 1 metre spanner? It's 16kg on the end of my 10" wrench.eeksll wrote:I am not a engineer in this space, but if I understand correctly what 40Nm means,
40Nm = 4.1 kg meters
so that is 4.1kg weight on the end of a 1 meter long spanner
to me that sounds like nothing.

true I dont use a 1 m spanner but as you have extrapolated your self, its about 16kg on a 10" wrench, which still isnt that much, especially with the lockring. You have easy weight you can put on it, ie put the wheel on the ground, wrench out horizontal and you can rest some body weight onto the end of the wrench.PawPaw wrote:who uses a 1 metre spanner?

I didn't really state it in my previous post, but my point was that I am guestimating that my initial tightening of the lockring bolt well and above exceeded the 40Nm torque and I still get my notches on the freehub.

Shimano lockrings have that corrugated steel band on the inside that results in resistance and give, and repeat.
ANyway, your experience may differ.

Got the file out last night and had to clean up the burs to be able to slide everything on easily. Will see what it looks like next time I pull it off.

that means I've got an abnormal free hub or I am doing something wrong.

Hub's probly fine. Maybe just pedal a bit harder and get tha powa down Sorry, just had toPawPaw wrote:Great......

Hey, I presume the 1200+ recorded peak watts I pumped out accelerating uphill would chewed some freehub.FrugalRouleur wrote:Hub's probly fine. Maybe just pedal a bit harder and get tha powa down Sorry, just had toPawPaw wrote:Great......

thats the way i understand it too, it is why trucks can produce such crazy amounts of torque but can't compete in the speed/drag race of a lesser torque higher powered race car.stanzarallyman wrote:Actually, its the torque that will put the marks in the freehub and not power
Being rough with your gears is probably the most likely cause of the bites, ie changing gears when standing and you feel that ca-chnk.

70 rpm = 163Nm
80 rpm = 143Nm
Anyone want to calculate how much a cassette lockring tensioned to 40Nm reduces the torque applied to the freehub?

Very happy with the wheels though, sub 1600g wheelset, and they go with the latest design trend for a wide rim section for aero advantage. 16mm internal diameter/ 21 external. Very smooth and stiff, comfortable ride with new Rubino pro 3's... Looks great on my new Defy
I did have some 'Aero' 30mm section wheels, but with a internal width of 13mm, even a 23c tire kind of bulges a bit. I wanted to run 25c for all my riding, so hunted down these Giant P-Sl0's. I believe the Shimano RS80/Ultegras also have a similar rim with and these have been proven to be more aero than a lot of 30mm section wheels. Another plus is the Giant's spokes are standard DT swiss aero blade spokes, so easier to service than other wheels I can think of, like Mavics..

Doing the lockring up properly binds the cassette pieces together so it hopefully moves as one piece ie. increases the contact area on the freehub.PawPaw wrote:Based on Power = torque * angular velocity

If you don't do this, the individual cassette pieces can move a little which over time will chew into the freehub.
If cassette lockrings are done up with a torque wrench to the specified torque the damage that will happen do to an alloy freehub is minimal. You'll still get some marks but unlikely to ever be bad enough to cause failure. Trying to get this through to some people who've "done it up heaps tight by hand" is sometimes difficult and I'll include some shop mechanics in that.

Yes the 23mm wide rims are becoming more popular. Note that the current Shimano rim widths are 20.8mm (both RS80 and Ultegra). Their claimed aero advantage is the low spoke count on the front wheel (just 16 spokes). The new 11-speed Shimano wheels will come with 23mm wide versions.tf2012 wrote:I just aquired a Giant P-SL0 wheelset, almost new, the lock ring was not tight enough on the cassette.
