Exactly, the guy in Poole is talking poop!!....
It would have to be a thinner nut again if aftermarket sprockets were bigger. Its obvious that the small few threads on the original nut just didn't have enuff bite and grip and that the lock washer failed dismally too. They sorted one (the nut), but its up to me go sort the lock washer.
The lock washer is a useless addition unless it is secured onto the sprocket IMO. It is designed to stop the nut from opening and it didn't do its job either because it just turned with the nut. I think that if you bond the lock washer onto the sprocket with JB Weld, or Superglue or with something along that lines, and if the bond is solid and secure, then it would be impossible for any nut including the original to work free if the tabs are over the nut properly and the washer is bonded securely to the sprocket. That is what i'm going doing with mine along with thread locking the nut and giving a few extra NMs of torque pressure as well.
