I'm convinced that they hubs on this bike are absolute crap. Every 06 I've heard about has had problems with the lockring not being tight enough. I think the cog threads are a touch too wide and the lockring can never be fully seated. Just my opinion.

****, that sucks. If that's true, I guess I better have a new hub be my next purchase? It's really pissing me off because since it has happened I have had to ride really conservatively for fear of stripping it.

If the lockring won't tighten up to the cog, don't buy a new hub, just throw a spacer on there.
If the guys at the shop haven't figured this out yet either and just keep cranking down on it, maybe you *should* get a new shop.

the hubs are crap, I had the lockring problem too...stripped out threads for the cog, and for the lockring off the hub...got the IRO one, and my LBS laced it up for 30 bucks, didnt even charge for spokes! ( I feel like I posted that exact sentance likkeee...a week ago, I probably did.)

Try a 1mm BB Spacer.
A 1mm cassette/freewheel spacer would work too, if it fits on a track hub.
I wouldn't say having a slightly-too-wide shoulder makes the hubs complete crap; they've been completely fine otherwise.
Also, my '05 is fixed/fixed.
