Anything special about the axle nut?

As the description says. Was looking at a titanium one on ebay. The OEM one seems to have a small thread locker/flange on the outside edge. Am I mistaken? Thanks

Lol, fixed. That which you speak acts as a thread lock or lock washer. Your Ti equivalent will work fine, just make sure it doesn't come loose..

The stock axle nut is a Fuji locknut
It’s a self locking design so that no cotter pin or other secondary mechanical locking devices needed
