I keep stripping wheels?!

Hi there.
I ride fixed gear about town, and am becoming notorious for stripping lockring threads. It doesn't seem to matter about the hub, material, gearing, etc. Most recently, I've stripped 2 OE Ambrosio track hubs, on a 46x16 ratio. I've previously stripped a standard langster wheel on the same ratio, and both sides of a novatec track hub on 53x16.

I've tried loctite, but to no effect. Every time, the cog has been put on properly, either by myself, or by a professional mechanic - and I carry a lockring tool to tighten my lockring on new wheels, so I know the lockring is always perfectly tight. I don't know anyone else who has this problem, but it seems like I just skid straight through hubs as if they were made of butter.

Has anyone had this problem before, or could anyone shed some light on what I may be doing wrong?

try a high end hub
white / phil / dura ace

the whites have a really nice cog locking mechanism which would be very difficult to strip

Which would you reccomend? I was thinking of getting a HED disc but thought I'd be bound to destroy the hub

In the words of our dear JD Mitch, bolt that sucker on

i have a da 7600 and a white eno both i would highly recommend, never had an issue with either, but then my legs wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, i could use hubs made of cheese

a white track hub would have the same locking mechanism as the eno and it does have a lot more metal to strip than a regular cog lockring system ..... try something different

give the whites a go

I think it's also important that I'm a pretty big guy. I have a good amount of leg strength, and, weighing 92kg, my skidding force is quite sizeable. I think that's my issue here

Like this?

That's what I'd go for if not a splined cog system. No chain whip, no lockring tool, just an allen key to swag cogs.
You can convert mountain bike disc front hubs I believe

6 bolts rather than a bit of sold billet aluminium
always had my doubts about bolt on cogs

I used to have a 6 bolt wheel but that thing was heavy and incredibly slow. That was just that specific wheel, though. The 6 bolt is the only wheel I've never destroyed - I'll never know why I sold it

Because it was heavy and incredibly slow?

to heavy to skid ?

and didn't need to skid ?

True - but it was a break from having to buy/build new wheels all the time

Good enough to not break when stopping 12kg of bike and 90kg of rider with a 203mm rotor DH bike

No - I could skid it fine - it just wasn't very nice having a wheel that made my bike to back-heavy

An XT front disc hub comes in at about 250g, a Phil Wood low flange rear track hub is about 350g. If you build them up onto the same rim the disc hub should be lighter, no?

If you put some decent grease in the XT hub ( Shimano rarely bother anymore ) and adjust the cones properly ( again, aren't always sold this way ), it'll spin really well too.

I can't believe that you're able to produce more power than Hoy/Föstermann and they as far as I know ride threaded hubs.

i'm pretty sure he doesn't do sweet whipskids at every available opportunity on his hubs

He really should be pointing out her hideous footwear!

I don't know about that, but this is what I've done to my threads. Nice and destroyed
