put cog, tight it
put lockring, tight it
retight cog
retight lockring
use a decent tool
apply force, a fairly amount (in my case always lots, all my weight and I'm heavy)
cheap hubs are not the problem, thousand of people in this forum use System X, On-one, Ambrosio, BLB.... without any problems what so ever
if the threads of the cog are fuck, it can be the problem,
if not, the way the cog + lockring are put on is teh problem (IMHO)
