    Default Locking Wheel Bolts

    Well I was backing out of a parking space last friday and let's be honest here.... I've heard tanks that were quieter! So saturday I was out in the cold... offside front wheel off... caliper off.... cleaned out... stoneguard cleaned out.... all back together... wheel on .... bolts tightennnnnnSLIP!!

    Yep... the locking bolt key now has a lovely extra angled section I really don't like
    So after a quick read up I ordered myself a set of McGard replacements for my damaged Vx OEM set.... fitted them about an hour ago (VERY careful removing old bolts with the damaged key) and all seems fine.

    So I've heard the slipping key problem many time both here and on VxON... has anyone used the McGards ? Had problems? Failures? Glowing recommendations?
