One of my front nuts popped out [wasn't painful at all] the other day and a friend had a couple of nylocks on him, so I used them as an emergency fix, but wonder whether I should just leave them on. Also, you can buy 50 of those for 3 quid, so my entire fleet can be serviced...
After the plastic insert gets rendered useless, doesn't the nylock act just like a normal nut?
