Indeedy - and what a term to throw into a bike conversation at your local... although you will 'sort of' be in the right 'ballpark', breakaway torque can be a bit misleading if you want to know if something is overtorqued. Always check the temperature, humidity and greasiness of your nuts before knocking them off etc. etc.
I used to sell 46MM nuts with the faces turned down - I have one knocking around somewhere... not sure if a 1098 is the same size.
