Loctite on lockring?

So I'm riding 46/16 and it feels pretty soft. Thinking about gearing to 46/15.

When you guys put the lockring back on, do you use loctite?

Red? Blue? I got blue sitting around.

Grease is all you need. And what you mean by bought to you by "carls Jr."? The food they serve is $hit.

a properly installed lockring prevents any need for loctite... however if you are running a suicide hub...

p.s. red loctite is generally applied to threads you don't ever plan on removing, it generally shouldn't be used on anything on your bike, if you ever plan on servicing it.
