Only the stripped thread on the axle nut really, the chain had become so loose it was starting to chip the paint off the frame. When i tried to tension it again and tighten the nut, it just spun on the axle so it was game over.

Trouble is, an extra spacer is needed on the left hand side of the hub to stop the chain sawing against the frame as it was doing from new. The result is only about half the nut's threads contact the now shortened axle making stripped threads much more likely.

Still, the little Curve conquered 3 miles around this place first so it didn't do too bad considered what it was made for!
