A guess would be that the wheels are a poor fit on the hexes so as the wheel moves on the hex it undoes the wheel nuts. Ive got 3 TT-01's and havn't had this happen but I'd be tempted try different wheels and try a but of threadlock on the nuts.

Its worth a try. You could also try using the new type of lock nut that use a serrated flange that grips the wheel. I use them on my 501 and they will not come off without a fight,
