Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

I don't like Loctite on headsets, but in dicey situations like yours where I lack good thread engagement, I use "vibra-tite" on the threads, which provides enough traction that I don't have to torque the locknut as tight as I would otherwise.

The advantage of vibra-tite or similar product over Loctite is that it allows readjustment if necessary without taking things apart to freshen the adhesive.
