My 2019 Radcity front wheel was somewhat loose so I reclamped the skewer exactly proper and all the way to the stop, really tight as always. It came loose again and again. Can’t see anything wrong with anything, skewer still has the friction pads and all. Then I realized I can make the wheel wobble loose some just rocking the bike with the front brakes on and/or slamming it down some at the front. Really tight skewer, doesn’t come unclamped but axle gets loose in the dropouts. Replaced the skewer and it’s fixed. Bizarre.
This is not the same bike that I just posted about cone nuts.
