And I may be an outlier in this, but I've had my DA hubs for more than ten years now, in regular use as my training wheels. I change gears every session. I have never replaced these nuts, and I have also never had a wheel slip. And I have never NOT used the chain tensioner screws. Coincidence?

I recently purchased a 10x1 die to clean and fix the threads on my disc wheel. The DA nuts fit much better now.
