My FFWD QRs are loosening too now. Will D-A fix this? Hate to stop and re-tighten...

check your chain. I had one pin that was too tight...ending up causing slipping in the jockey wheels or cassette. it may feel like your hubs...but the cause could come from another source.

Had Tune, Enve skewers and had the same thing happen. Enve did update their skewers recently but I haven't tried the new ones.
Switched to Zipp SS and it went away.

Removed the conical springs on the FFWD qr. It generates some outward force. We'll see if it helps.

You could try some anti-seize on the face of the drop out. but if you remove the wheelw for transport several times a week, not helpful likely.

Try those other skewers and let us know. Would be interesting to hear this outcome.
