If you want to run a suicide hub, there ought to be a BB lockring on it. Otherwise you're should price out a new hub... and a new set of teeth.
Yeah, Charles Bronson rides a suicide hub...

A BB lockring is nearly worthless in a suicide setup. Loctite is unnecessary.You can torque the wheel with your hands far more than you ever can with your drive train. Its not ideal, but if you ride with brakes (and use them), its hardly dangerous.
