I wouldn't say never. I JB Welded my BB's fixed cup to my BB shell a couple years ago and just last week I felt some play with my cranks and lo and behold, the fixed cup was fixed no more.

To the OP... I applied loctite and rotafixed my suicide hub and it hasn't come undone on me yet. I probably just jinxed myself and will run into trouble on my lunch time ride today. Thanks! I am in the process of saving up to have a true fixed hub built up around a Mavic Open Pro rim I have laying around.
