the rotafix method works quite good, i used it for 8 month on a bike few years ago and i'm using it now here in london on the crappy conversion i'm riding around..
I never used any loctite but a little trick: put a spacer on the thread before the cog, it works as a washer and the cog will not unscrew as easy as it would just with loctite....
i'm no more used to brakes cos in the last years i've been riding a brakeless track frame, on the bike i'm using around london i put a front brake cos of the "suicide" hub but i think i never touched the lever, skidding my stops etc... the brake stays there just in case..
anyway I wouldn't ride a rotafixed hub brakeless as few people in milan do...
