Also record torque used for axle nut.

It doesn't look like it in video, but Dave Moss is buff geezer! In person, he's got Popeye arms and can tighten an axle nut to proper torque with his bare hands!!!
I don't think you want Red on that. I might use Blue (medium), but it's jam-nutted so that should hold it.

By using something between the sprocket and chain to pull the wheel tightly forward as you tighten the axle nut (as seen in the videos) it will snug everything. If you can move the adjuster plate at all, it's not pulled forward tight enough.
