The boot offers 130nm of average resistance when moving through a stroke of 15° at 23°C when the test is taken 30,000 times and the average is observed. In order to sale the boot, if the boot offers between 126 and 135 NM restistence then we'll call it a 130, shops would have huge problems selling, 130,131,132,133 etc so to save shops chatting over this subject for hours, we'll just say it's not standard and save everyone the nonsense.

There's a whole bunch of closure settings and Fill settings for how the boot volume is controlled before the flex tests can be done also.

OK. That's nice and simple and not at all what you were describing earlier.
It's hard to reconcile that with the chart in the atomic video but we don't know what temperature that was at so it's not really a valid data point.

That makes sense.

Dude i've done 3 products now, concept to production, flex was a small but important factor, I spent my time there understanding it, but not working with it, we did concept, ski/walk systems. Flex was a big part of that transition, we're there now.

My middle name is pedantic & NM is a unit measure of torque, not force.

Speaking of pedantic, isn’t it Nm.

1 Newton meter is equal to the torque resulting from a force of one newton applied perpendicularly to a one meter long lever arm.

^ What he said.
Torque is just rotational force about an axis.

It's the product of the force and the distance from the axis. So a short fat lad might apply the same torque to the boot as a tall thin lad.
As the guy in the boot shop in Selva fat-shamed me " I think you take the 130s. OK, I don't make a joke but you don't weight 70kilos!"
