Koesel told me not to tighten the chain tensioner too tight. Something about that causes the adjuster screw to back out of the C. I always adjust the dropout adjusters to center the wheel with the axle nuts loose. I haven’t noticed a problem and I’ve had my frame since January.
I can see that creating excess pressure against the axle stop. I just use enough tension to set the wheel center & then tighten the axle nuts. I have noticed to not fully extend the tensioner & risk backing out the bolt from the thumbscrew. I slightly cross threaded one side doing that.
I have a Stromm frame and I have the exact same issue! I've asked for replacement screws. They don't seem to have it in-stock and I've been waiting for it for almost a month now. Mine were bent even without putting it on a trainer ever.

Hello. I have Stromm frame since Roubaix and.....same little problem.
Good to know. I think it’s a good design with axle stop but it takes a little extra attention to get it correct.

I hope you get the screws soon. Also read Charles’ comment about not tightening them too much.
@ Thank you for the video! Yes, I read his comment. I’ll keep that in mind.
