Even Sheldon Brown thinks the name "suicide hub" is alarmist if you have brakes.
With loctite (red) you need to install the cog and lock ring and allow 24 hours to allow the loctite to cure properly... jb weld also has a curing time.
My main squeeze has been going for well over 12,000 km with a suicide hub and my last cog change required three guys and a torch to get the cog off.
Although I run and normally rely on a front brake I also back brake (alot) and skid and have never had an issue... but YMMV.
This is one good reason for a proper hub... you can change cogs easily and with a suicide hub (I don;t like this name either) you run a risk of destroying the freewheel hub.
