Magoo,I'm glad you found the formula useful.I came to this site looking for that info but instead had to develop it myself.Glad you liked my weak attempts at humor,a little levity on the forums is always welcome,by me anyway. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

P.S.My need for the formula arose when trying to properly tighten the spokes on my Honda CRF250X dirt bike.Aluminum spokes,aluminum nipples and a 2.7 ft/lb specification put a little trepidation in me.I have an in/lb torque wrench and an open end spoke wrench but I don't have a $100+ spoke torque wrench,hence the need for the formula.
