Default Loose wheel nuts

So what's the secert to keeping them tight? Do I want to use thread lock? I'd rather not so what else is there? I lose wheel tightness and spin on the hexes almost every time I run.

Use blue (medium) or pink (soft) thread lock.

check your rims and hexes, plastic rims have a life span in crawling, once you start spinning hexes get a new pair, and also upgrade to aluminium hexes.
