Many years ago I took my foxy to a well known tyre/servicing gaff in south London for new boots and chain and sprocks any way I picked the bike up and on the way home there was this ear defending screeching noise and I lost all drive , I shat me self cos I was doing 60 mph on the A12 and thought the gearbox was shagged.
Anyway on taking the side case off at the roadside it turns out it was the sprocket nut came off called the rac and got it home.
I went back to said well known tyre co and they were not helpful at all almost saying I was lying and offered me 10% off my next tyres for the inconvenience of putting my life in danger but at the time I didn't know about the nut issue and had fitted a new tab washer, torqued the nut and got back on the road and it lasted another 3years until I changed for the bigger nut.
I've never been back to said shop and I told them where to poke the 10%, should've sued em or something
