Loctite? I don't think so. It's a new bike, you're entitled to a product that isn't borken and then "fixed" with a nasty kluge. Not only did somebody fubar the construction, but somebody else noticed the problem and =didn't care= enough to fix it right and instead tried to pass it off with a reversed BB. That doesn't say good things for the manufacturer.

I'd be tempted to try and get a refund and go with something else.
