Properly installing the cog and lockring is the way to go.
well.. agreed. But my puny girl muscles makes the usual chainwhip method kinda loose. The rotafix method is okay for me since I'm not really capable (and am also careful) to tighten it to the point of stripping hubs.
Everytime in the rare occasion that some guy tightens my wheel I always have to put a wrench and step on it with my body weight to take it off.
