Would you use this mechanic again?

Yer...he just gunned it til the nut wouldnt go any further....

I'd take that nut off ASAP and re-torque properly

I would take the nuts off and re torque asap also. If an air gun was the tool for the job then every wsb/moto gp garage would be using them for putting in their qualifiers - but no they use the old faithful torque wrench. (I guess someone will noe say power tools are not allowed in the moto gp/wsb pits)

What a ****, don't go near him again.

Have you got a torque wrench of your own to re-torque that nut? And a breaker bar to loosen it? Do it now or you'll need to take it to a garage with a rattle gun to get it loose again the next time you need to adjust your chain.

I hope you have set the torque on that bolt.
We have had 2 D40 due wheel recalls service by there on site plant mech's.I had to use a breaker bar and scafold poll to undo the wheel nuts. And 4 of the 6 steel inserts were loose. 2 dead wheels.and no not warranty .

silly question, what's not good about ceramic brakes?
(i understand that having them won't make you beat a R1, more after why they good/bad and what about the thing about in the dry/wet?)

Ceramic brakes need LOTS of heat before they start working.

hence the dry track... thanks
i'll assume when they are working, they're a lot more powerful?
