ok since this threads been bumped once again i'll give an update. Took the bike to the place that built the wheel for me and discovered that the hub was not stripped (hooray) but that the lockring is not reverse threaded, and both cog and lockring just spun off (In hindsight the threading was obvious when tightening everything down... but hey the obvious has been known to pass right by these blood shot eyes :-)) so everything's tightened down and the bike is once again ridable but i'm stuck wondering what kind of sh*t *ss hub am i riding?

I can deal with not skidding and skipping and making sure everything is tight till i get enough dough together for a legit fixed gear bike if i have to, but my question now i guess is will locktite (which colour?) do the trick and give me a level of safety which would allow for occasional skids and such? If so should i locktite the cog and lockring or one and not the other?

Oh AND i'm a little pissed at the guy who built the wheel for me... I told him while i was planning on running a front brake for now I might change my mind in the future, and then when i go in and tell him I was skipping and skidding he just laughs and say "oh that'll happen on this hub, definitely not for skidding, you'll wanna get a new wheel for that!" WTF, I think he should have at least told me about that before i bought it... Oh and apparently there's no warranty on "messenger" equipment, or fixies "if your skidding with them," so i'm lucky i didn't strip the thing. Everytime i'm in there getting something like bar tape or brake cables: "are you messenging with that thing?" Me: "No, thinking about it but No"... Ah well... c'est la vie. At least I
know where I'm NOT shopping from now on.

Sorry for the long post, but i got papers that need doin, and procrastination makes them go so much smoother ;-)
