Many of the Hornets, Mosquito ASK13 came out with a 3 bolt of 6mm diameter.
These can easily sheer one bolt and usually this can be detected by a CLICK
CLICK CLICK. I would recommend with Allen key these be checked for
tightness say two or three times a year.

These hubs with bolt sheering proved to be a problem.  For a while Tost
drilled these bolts out to 8mm and grade 8 bolts of appropriate length were
used but soon after this Tost changed their moulds for split his to
incorporate 6 bolts and these were all 6mm again and these have been have
been all but trouble free for sheering bolts.

All I am saying if you have the older 3 bolt hubs consider checking the
bolts regularly and consider having a few spare 6mm bolts
