@Colm, yeah, i've covered all those bases. Always been the same routine, clean hub, grease hub, tighten, then lockring. I use candle wax as a crappy way of securing parts on my bike*, as well as dirt proofing the exposed threads on my hubs.
Chainwhips are a waste of money IMO
@Skulls I think you may be right,
a bolt on hub/cog thing may be my solution, but i cant justify spending the necessary ~£95 on a hub that will go onto a mavic open sport, a slightly bent one at that.
Beginning to look like no fixeh fun till i get a job. =/
so far its prevented the loss of my stem n bars, seat n seatpost and the other pedal (the bastard stole a single pedal)
