Noob warning alert for us all to learn from

am putting my hand up and admitting to a faux pas that has just cost me 23 quid
when playing with the rear disk, take care with the bolts that hold it on.... when I was playing with mine while doing my service, I had a friend help me putting stuff back together
I did not notice, but he used a wrong bolt on the disk - with out the recessed dimple on it (easy mistake to make I guess as the head and thread was the same size but...
I could feel that something was not right as i kept turning the back wheel - almost as if something was catching - it was - the speedo sensor
so, heads up all if doing this job - don't put what looks like the same bolt in - it could be expensive!
