One wheel nut off each wheel and off you go, but slowly.

glad he was ok though and no major damage done

I have always been paranoid about wheel nuts -

surely it must have given you some clues that the wheel was about to fall off?

bl**** hell, better get mines checked...

How do you know it was a tyre fitter and not the driver himself?

by reading the Youtube comments I presume :d

What would be embarassing was if both your rear wheels came off in front of a crowd of people with cameras whilst competing at a sprint :d:d:d

mmmm, sadly that seems to happen far too often after a tyre change. But they you are always advised to check the torque after 100miles or so

Looks like a pretty bad road for it to happen . :o

I was once mocked at a circuit for checking all 16 wheel nuts after the first session but better safe than sorry I say . :t-up:

Wonder how much was ground off the under side of the ball joint / wish bone !!! :cry:

I always check my nuts are in place before I give it the gas on the start line particularly on circuits that required big b............s
