Huh? Other than cross-threading, what can go wrong in the installation? In my case, and from what I have heard from several others here, the hub stripped out almost immediately, so it was not a case of the cog and lock-ring not being tightened down.
But I am open to be shown wrong.
How does one install one correctly to avoid this problem?
