Okay, here's what I've done:

I started with a cheapo 27" single speed wheel. I rotafixed my cog on there with red Loctite on the threads and JB Weld between the cog and the hub. I then put on a BB lockring with JB Weld between the lockring and the cog and on the threads. I then tightened the lockring on with a hammer and screwdriver until it wouldn't budge. I haven't used this wheel yet since I did this yesterday after work. I'd like to try it today but I'm a little nervous so I'm tapping the glimmering fountain of knowledge and experience that is this forum.


Here's what's bugging me:

First, using the rotafix method, I was never sure how tight I was supposed to get it. It felt pretty damn tight but I was afraid of stripping the hub's threads since I did the same thing in a roundabout way with a similar hub a couple months ago. Second, I put on too much Loctite which ended up running in between the JB Weld and the cog/hub. Would this weaken the bond between the JB Weld and the metal?

I might just be worrying too much. I am running a front brake. Every metal-to-metal surface has either JB Weld or Loctite on it and is pretty tight. Has anyone else done this method with success? Should I wait longer before I take it for a spin? What is the meaning of life? Have I told you lately that I love you?

Thanks.
