But is it the fault of the nut or the fault of the fit between the sprocket and the shaft?
I reckon from what I've read here the fault lies in the fit between the sprocket and the shaft.
So even if you put a 12mm nut on it's only going to make a difference if the friction between the nut and the saft is greater than the friction between the nut/washer and the sprocket.
Admittedly a large nut with more threads should produce more friction, but whether it will be enough or not appears unknown.
