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?

Why not forget 3 piece split rim wheels altogether and go for heavy, one piece wheels with good solid rims you can hit the kerb with?
