kirkyboy5 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Picked some black Pro Dynamics with R888s on today. Got them back and put them on look lovely against the yellow And so i then took it for a lil run out around the block....and guess what? The bl**dy front wheel fell off haha. Luckly no damage because was only doing abut 5 mph but my god did it give me a shock. Went and collected the wheel from a house down the road where it had settled in the front garden. Put it back on and looks like I didnt fully tighten the nuts on that one. I think in the excitement id forgotten on that wheel. Ohhh well you live and learn haha Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN99W Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Blimey, did you knacker the disc? Lucky the speed was low. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkyboy5 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 No, the disks fine. It scraped on two little bolts that are pretty well scraped but still in tact. Didnt catch anything underneath either like sump etc. I think if i was doing 5 mph more it would have been a different story. It bent the cyclewing struts slightly but iv bent them back into place and looks good as new haha Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I bought a Sierra XR4x4 some years ago after bringing it home thought it feels a bit weird in the handling dept, felt ok on test drive. Got home to discover both front wheels on the last threads of bolts! Queue big sign of relief and wheel brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User0083 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 D'oh! I had a similar issue after a "mate" put the wheel back on. Fortunately didn't come off, but one nut did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
