I can't believe that tensioning the hub nut to 225 lbs ft, has any effect on the bearing preload. I reckon the bearings in the sealed hub unit are loaded to normal specs (similar specs to the old removalable bearing setup), and all that the big 36 mm nut does, is hold the whole hub assembly on really bloody tight. However the 'how-to's' on here say that setting the tension to 225 lbs ft, is really important, and going too tight is going to ruin the bearings. Hogwash I say, or am I wrong?
