Some people at the shop like loctite for every thing- blue especially - on spoke threads, hubs, cleat bolts, etc.
Personally, I never use it. If you install your cog and lockring properly, it shouldn't be necessary. Grease on everything is always a good idea. Just make sure you get your lockring on very tight, as it should be, and you'll do fine.

Um, I don't use loctite on a hub at all. I find grease and a lockring to be much better...

It's simply that:
I live in Seattle so you can imagine the hills that I find myself on.
After stripping off the last hub while going down one of these said hills, I would really like for that to not happen again.
No, I don't give a **** about your arguments about running brakes so save it.

Properly tighten the cog. Make sure that this is complete before you touch a lockring.
Properly tighten the lockring.
As stated before, grease is good on these two thread-interfaces.
Use good quality parts (hub, cog, lockring)
If you are running brakeless, you have to pay extra careful attention that every thing is installed and tightened properly, as the hub is your only braking device.

The only things I like to use loctite on right off the bat are fender and rack mounting bolts. They just tend to rattle loose on me without it.

All your input is very appreciated.
Remeber after the first time that you got hit.. it was a little uncomfortable that next ride?
Yeah, that's why I'm being a bit overly paranoid.. just hated the whole hub vs hill deal.
Yes, I REALLY want a LeveL hub.... totally in the cards within the next two months. For now I am just running a velocity aerohead/formula from Tony.
All that I can afford because of all the x-mas shiz.

and to top it off it was in the middle of my first alley cat.
