Which Loctite is best for replacement lockring?

Posted on
  • Ok so say you stripped your lockring thread (on hub) and cant afford a new hub/build for a while which loctite would you use to keep the cog on before rotafixing?

    Somebody mentioned alraldite (sp?) to me also?

    Experiences?

  • doubt anything will hold. maybe go to freewheel.

  • pleanty of people do on suicide hubs etc..

    Blue? red? green?

  • doubt anything will hold. maybe go to freewheel.

    this true, nothing will hold it on safely

  • I've looked at the loctite page and know that it can be held safely until I can afford to replace it as im using a brake and im not skidding.

    I'm just after some advice from somebody who has actually used loctite before for this purpose.

  • quite a few have tried it, any resisting will undo it.

  • loads of guys on here build wheels and like beer.

    will get you a pretty cheap wheel build ....
    you can likely re use yr rim and spokes

  • i used red loctite before but that was to hold a partially stripped lockring thread, it held but i slapped on both brakes as there was a constant fear of the cog spinning off. It held but it wasnt ideal/safe

  • Yea, just buy a new or 2nd hand hub and re-build it yourself.
