I never needed lock washers of any sort when I didn't have chain tensioners. You just need to get the axle nuts tight enough and it should hold it in place, that's how it was with mine anyway.

if you're riding street, chipped paint on your dropouts shouldnt even be on your mind.

yes, but when you tighten the nut, your bike would flip unless it is held down

You people are weak. If you want to get your chain tight, jam a socket or a wrench, or anything between the end of the wishbone and the back tire, step on the seat to hold the bike down, and crank down on the nuts.

I am weak.

my axle will move if I pound on it doing stuff like over ice picks on both sides of my bike. not enough to ruin my session though, so I don't care. I no longer go out and ride my bike 50 miles around the city so I can always get back to my car. even if it means having my brake rub a bit because my wheel moved....

Bah, that's what barrel adjusters are for. If you want it to never move, do what i said and use a tire iron to get the bolts on there, after wedging a chunk of metal between the end of the dropout and the axle.

thats what my diagram is of.
