We usually run the much more expensive "expanding" lock nuts...

94830A490 - Cadmium-plated - $0.442 each.
94140A490 - Stainless - $1.276 each (pricey).

In all cases, I've started using loctite pretty regularly, especially on the thin front nuts. Rears can go a few race days between re-application, but fronts have so little to grab on, it's just safer to use more.
why use locktite? when the nut even feels just a little loose..replace it...or just buy serrated.
