Lock nut self loosening

Put a little bleb of black paint on the hub of the nut towards the centre so you can do a visual check daily rather than take out your torque wrench. Check the threads on the hubs as you may have inadvertently stripped them

Random, left-field thought - how are the wheel bearings? If things are getting red-hot on a drive, could the expansion and contraction cause the wheel nuts to loosen? It would have to get seriously hot, though

Very interesting thought, i am not sure about the condition of the wheel bearings. But i suppose they are all right as i can’t notice any weird knocking or riding or noises from my rear wheels. Also, i guess if the bearings are consistently over heated i would know it other ways
