Have I tried to tighten the system down, Yes. I have in fact really put a lot of pressure on the hubs and am using steel skewers. Both frames are set for 132mm and the hubs are slipping in what seems to be fine. But when I am done with riding, I find the right side of the hub has pulled forward sending the wheel off center to the left by the power of the crank pull.
i had the same problem with my merckx ex pro, which had 6/4 titanium dropouts. i had to use an 8-speed DA (steel) QR and i really had to tighten it down.
it was a real pain.
