Anyone who has ellipses please chime in: when re-installing the rear wheel, I put the 5mm Allen key in to prevent the axle from moving, tighten down the Drive side, then the non drive side. Problem is the drive side axle nut will then spin sometimes. It's like you need 3 hands just to get the wheel aligned. I know the older versions of ellipses didn't have this problem. I'm just worried about cracking the axle everytime I'm switching the wheel around. Anyone have any hacks or suggestions?
Do you have the plastic tool that came with the wheels?



Also, maybe finger-tighten both sides before using the wrench?
