We used OEM ones over the weekend, we were reusing the original ones despite the manual saying to always replace them. The guys in the paddock said just to use loctite to compensate for the loss of the self sealing ability.
The main problem is the final torqing. To get to such a high torque setting requires the use of a long torue wrench which, on such a small nut, tends to wonder under pressure rather than tightening square on. Do you guys torque up with the wheel or sprocket carrier loose or with the wheel mounted to the bike?
