Just looked at the various torque settings and noticed that a Lambretta Rear Hub Nut is torqued down to approximately 2 times the force than a Vespa Rear Hub Nut.

Normally I literally stand on the ratchet spanner when torquing down the rear hub nut on the Vespa as it normally always comes loose...

Can about 80 Nm really be a correct value? Have googled around and all sources lists the same value. It's not very much more than the flywheel setting although the diameter is considerably larger...
