If you don't torque them down properly they can have a habit of coming loose, and this may be worse if you swap it over between wheels frequently (I think the little washer between the lock-ring and cassette can wear). From memory, a Shimano cassette specifies about 34Nm which is otherwise known as "proper tight!" if you're not using a torque wrench. Regarding the cassette, the torque is specified on the lock-nut. IIRC Aksiums have an adjustment nut on the non-drive side that sets bearing preload, so it's an easy fix (but the same feature also makes the problem more likely to happen IMO).
