i have built a tahiti bike..the rear dropouts are angeled front to back..no matter how much i tighten the rear wheel quickly the touque from the engine pulls and moves the rear hub forward loosening the chain...any suggestions????????????
That has to be the silliest help advice I heard here hehe ;-}Loc-tite! Or bigger wrenches....or both.
Corgi1 beat me to it but that was going to be my suggestion. If the sprocket is not concentric with the hub it will cause a jerking action that might be responsible for your wheel moving forward. Check that rear sprocket installation.Is the large sproket centered real good so when turning the chain does not tighten and loosen as the wheel goes around?
I used to put the brake drums on backwards and leave the lug nuts loose. Makes a great axle puller. Works like a slide hammer but quicker and you don't have to walk to the tool box.Does the chain wip up and down a lot ,I use to pop the rear axles out of the older 3rd member cars by bolting a heavy chain w/the lug nuts and giving it a wip,it worked better/faster than the slide hammer,
Skewers. Is that that what they are called?I have skewers on My bike and I am going to finally put the motor on during vacation next week..this is something that has been a concern in the back of my mind for a bit.
Cheers

Piece of cake easy if you have a hub mounted rear drive sprocket.1. My drop outs are backwards and angled..
2: I have a hub that has the sprocket on it no spoke drive.
