I have a stolen cherry frame and a raptor hub. My rear wheel slips a ton after each session. My axle is kinda worn. I really tighten down my rear bolts so it shouldn't be a problem with that

Sickdude, you should just get chain tensioners. They're cheap and saves you the hassle.

At least you wont wear out the threads on your axle due to over-tightening.

Or just ride chainless, slam your wheels so your wheel won't shift.

They're kinda like washers with bolts that pushes against your drop-outs.

Chain tensioners, axle nuts that have knarping (grip notches) on them, adding a washer, remove paint where the axle tightens down and rough up the dropouts.

Put something between the axle and the most forward part of the dropout to wedge it out.
