Last night, as i turned into the street i live, suddenly the bike had no drive, and there was a strange noise by the chain.
I managed to get her home and have a look, and discovered that the front spocket nut had fallen off, along with the washer.
Now this is very unusual. The strangest part is that this is the second time it's happened in a year. What is truly confusing, is that when i got the last one, i enlisted the help of a friend of mine, well, his torque wrench
He's rebuilt several bikes, and we torqued the nut to spec, and hammered that washer PROPERLY so that the nut could NOT come off again.
Now, aside from having to replace a R250 nut AGAIN, what am i missing? Has anyone else had this issue? It is very strange to me ....
