Someone posted here that you really can't and don't need to tighten the lock-ring as much as you might think. I'm not sure if that is what you're doing or what. Besides, it's better for your bike to not bring it to the beach 
Your bike hates sand and sea-air, haha.

1. Someone needs to inform hub manufacturers that the hub that should be made most common is the double fixed hub and NOT the fixed/free variety. One CAN use a freewheel on either side of a double fixed hub but one CANNOT use a fixed cog (safely) on the freewheel threaded side of a fixed/free hub. Plus if you strip one side of a fixed/fixed hub the hub is not automatically rendered useless.
2. Sorry if I sound smug, but stripping a hub should not be happening if you are using the proper tools (chain whip and track lockring wrench). The lockring only needs to be on their snug as it will TIGHTEN if the cog tries to move.
