buti na lang, no other untoward event happened, and the bolts were still use-able.
i now always observe the mechanic as he tightens my wheel nuts.
this happened to me thanks to a tire shop along Visayas Ave.

they didn't tighten the nuts, sad part is that binalik nila yung cover nag mags which needed to be screwed.

When I reached East Ave, a car told me my rear wheel was wiggling at slow speeds. upon checking, 2 studs were gone (putol na) and only 3 studs with loose nuts was holding the wheels.
