Yeah I guess it's not a risk I'd be willing to take knowing the consequences. Also I wouldn't wanna be doing that to the thread on my wheel axle, it'll just make hub servicing a bit of a pain as well, I guess that's also coming from the fact I'm the only person that works on my bike so that's factored in as well.

okay point taken, they may slip after a while. But enough force to cause the nut to slip and then destroy a bb so completely the wheel falls into the dropout? For me personally it's a risk i would be willing to take (and have taken). Although maybe I wouldn't be so brazen if i'd ever cracked a competent. I'm sure someone with a better working knowledge of these things would have a more objective opinion.
