Stripped Hub - Saveable?
Well I got some stripped threads on both cog and lockring.
Are there enough threads to just rotafix and red loctite and never change the setup
or should I cut out the hub and make it into some more paperweights?

Don't JB Weld it, that is ********. Just a red-loctite + rotafixa should keep it on, and you'll still be able to get it off when you want a paperweight.

i got the same problem. this is what i found about jb weld:
"had a friend who used locktite, then JB weld when the locktite broke free, on a bmx hub. eventually the JB weld broke too"
anyone knows where i could buy new rear hub online? Double fixed DA?
