@Sumo @Scilly.Suffolk @M_V Okay, I realise my mistake now. I used to put my lockring on arm tight, but started using much more power, after I had stripped my first hub - I've likely been over-tightening. The mechanic is always one that I know personally - good mechanics who I would trust with my life. However, I see that I should just be using a decent chainwhip, and a moderate amount of power, and all should be fine.
I don't use the same lockring, I always make sure that it's right for the hub - and I've varied thickness, with little effect.
I'll get a decent hub, a decent cog, and put it on with decent tools, and follow the instructions I've been given here - hopefully that will be the end of it.
Thanks, everyone!
