Either way, pretty much permanent for a bike. The LBS obviously doesn't do many fixed gear bikes.

I'd bring the bike back to the LBS and politely ask them to remove the lockring. If it turns out to be Red 271 then I'd politely ask them to replace my wheel and take it from there.

About 30 years ago, I accidentally used red loctite on a gun part (didn't know any better). They told me to put it in the oven, and I believe it was 350 at the time. Twenty minutes later, no problem at all. Maybe I should have cooked noodles while I was waiting?
