Hi Mike I got a large knurled nut (external diameter equals the hub) from Edson. It will still come loose with some vibration over a day but I can tighten it way harder (and easier!) than with the previous smaller plastic hex nut. Also easier to remove by hand. It's a pretty good look too! I also notice on-line that large metal knurled nuts are available from a number of manufacturers in a variety of thread counts. Likely all you need and I expect less expensive than Edson. Doesn't eliminate the problem but it's way better and ............ better is good
