Screwed rear hub - locktite? Or something more hardcore?

Hey,

the thread on my rear fixed is mashed and I cant afford a new hub/build or wheelset right now so i'm thinking of making the cog and lockring a permanent fixture on the rear hub by using some sort of hardcore glue until I can afford a new setup.

Anyone done this before - what did you use?

I tried this as an emergency measure on my brothers bike, when he stripped his threads and it just didn't hold. If you've got no thread left at all, chances are you're screwed. I araladited a Miche sprocket carrier onto a partially stripped thread and thus far that's held fine, also has the advantage that you can still change sprockets. Good luck :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
