radial lacing loosens easily, so some builders threadlock the nipples (how this helps with retruing later on, if needed, I don't know)
most of us use grease on cogs and lockrings, done up fucking tight. not loctite.
Didn't know about radial lacing loosens easily (i think it looks ugly anyways:)
About loctite on cogs and lockring, i did try the grease and fucking tight, but my (crap) on-one hub with crap cog and crap lockring still didn't hold op.. with red loctite it does, and i bet i'll still be able to get it off when i want to.
I'd rather be safe than sorry, so i think i'll use loctite for cogs and lockrings in the future too. i really don't want it to slip.
