When you grind your wheel comes loose? I make sure all my bolts are super tight but it still happens. (I grind on the drive side)

If you grind on your left side or consistantly do a lot of fakie grinds right side, your peg could be rotating when you grind and loosening your axle bolt. This can be prevented with a peg that comes equipped with anti roller pins. That being said- I suggest shadow little ones. Theyre cheap compared to others and they slide like sex. Also make sure washers are placed correctly (see below).
If you grind right side, make sure you have a washer on the INSIDE of your peg and a washer between the axle nut and frame on the non grind side. Also don't overtighten. It will actually become more likely to slip.
If this all fails, I would sand down the base of your pegs and the dropout of your frame completely raw for most friction between the two. Or even buying chain tensioners to prevent the wheel from sliding forward.
Hope this helped. Good luck.

Yeah, I grind on the left, and every now and then my back peg (can't really use the front one) comes loose. My odyssey GI (aka Mpegs) pegs have three roll pin locations, but the last time I was fuckin with my back wheel, the pin wasn't fitting (ik it goes after the peg) so I just didn't use it. A pair of mpegs is around $16 for both
