Checked to see if my studs were tight and good for giggles. 
Found that they all needed a few cranks plus. Had 1 pull threw and another broken at nut in around 500 miles. Really glad I checked them. 
cheers

Great tip right there. One of those things that's real easy to take for granted. I'll be checking mine this weekend.
I suspect (if they are push throughs with nylocks) that they weren't fully tightened when installed. A thick track can mask the resistance felt when the nylock/backer contacts the sholder of the stud. In other words, the thicker the track, the easier it is to under-torque them.
Although I've never used them - I think the plastic nuts would also be proned to under-torqueing since they'd be easier to strip.
