[quote=shimmy;82063]i use 120Nm for road and track. Tighten on track after your first outing and maybe check again at lunchtime BUT i have never had a nut come loose EXCEPT just after wheel refurbs when if they painted on any touching surfaces the nuts will slacken off[/quote]

<gulp> didnt know this mate - how long after painting does this kind of thing stop happening

I'll be coming in every fookin lap at Snett to check......

My charitable side obviously shows on the forum then

No it should be a close battle tbh, the evo is a heavy beast.

Depends if they paint the wheel in the place it faces against the hub, a good repair should have no issues, however a bad repair can rear it's ugly head

The paint acts like a washer, heat transfer from the brakes to the wheel, the paint gets hot, starts to melt and hey presto washer has disappeared.
Wheel can then become loose

Just monitor, takes 1 min to check a few bolts
