That instruction implies somebody has boobed. No way should a bolt on a split rim wheel require checking that often.

To my mind, either the bolt is stretching, or the wrong combination of washer and nut has been used. I'd have thought a stiff nut (nylon insert type) and a plain washer would have been right, but given those torque figures, I guess a plain nut is used. Spring washer perhaps?
