just found this i need to convert the 290nm torque on my hub to lb/in

thought it might help someone else....

so you should be getting the answer as 290 Nm = 213 ft.lbs


and if anyone wants to check my maths:
2.2 lbs = 1 kg
1 N = 0.1019 kg (1 kg = 9.81 N)
so 1 N = 0.2243 lbs

1 m = 39.37" = 3.2808'

so 3.2808*02243 = 0.73589 ft.lbs per Nm
(or the inverse 1.3589 ft.lbs per Nm if you want to go the other way)

so 290Nm = 213 ft.lbs

Aahh but the question was 290Nm to lbs/in not lbs

so 290nm = 2556 lbs/in

Simples

Wrong again.

290nm =2556 lb.in

lb/in is very different

I have a reliable source that says

290Nm is approximately equal to FT
