Does anybody know an actual number value? If not, how tight do you put yours? Im trying to find a happy medium between the axle moving in the rear dropouts and fubaring a rear hub. Thanks

I just put my ratchet on to the socket and just torque it down that way. I don't really have any issue with my wheel shifting unless I catch it on a rail up right or something

Youll rip the threads out of the nut before you overtighten it, I run mine tight as I can pretty much, female on the otherhand is supposedly not supposed to be tightened as much but tight enough so the wheel doesnt move.
