Oh dear Lord... it's a good thing this didn't cause any casualties. Please be more careful for the good of all of us.

edit: and you went HOW MANY MONTHS LIKE THIS?! jeez.

I only went for a few days with the noise at most. Also I wasn't the one who put my wheels back on so I didn't even know they were loose. I guess I learned to double check other peoples work ;)

this is why I do my own work. you might be better off doing the same :)

Yeah I usually do, my friend was helping me and he was the one who didn't tighten them.

That's where I am now. It's especially bad on hills. It's gotta be bad (besides the noise) because it will keep doing it for a couple seconds (getting quieter and quieter) even after I hit the clutch.
