If you are getting slippage under pedal pressure, then a little more bite at the QR is in order. You might double-check that he QR itself is an "older" style with some teeth or other biting surface on it. I found that mine slipped less as the paint wore. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclofiend/3246069293/ I'll get a slight slippage from time to time in the course of a long day, but normally, it's pretty solid.
