Round numbers are powerful things to engineers.  Take the rear hub torque of 217
ft.lbs, which sounds so precise you worry if it's not just so, but it's really
only 30 m.kg.  The flywheel gland nut is similar at 253 ft.lbs (35 m.kg).
Silly the conversion to Imperial isn't rounded to 220 and 250.

Now about PI.  It would be much easier to call it 3, wouldn't it?    ;-)
