just wondering what everyone's opinion on thread lock is. my lockring thread (the one on the hub) is a bit worn and the lockring seems to loosen. i was given advice that maybe some blue threadlock could help and was wondering if this is a viable solution or do I just need to replace the hub altogether.
[basically, I have borrowed a mates bike for a few months whilst he is on holiday to see if the ss was for me. after a couple of weeks i flipped the hub to ride fixed and am a convert. he rides free-wheel so i don't really want to replace the whole hub for a couple of months, before i get my own ride.]
