funny that...i got it off a professional track rider's site who rides on/off track with out lockrings. there are plenty of others who ride without lockrings using rotafix. i'm 17 stone and ride all the hills around here without a lockring with no problems at all.
and as for stripping threads using rotafix, i'll be surprised if anyones strong enough.
as for eluding to the fact i'm trying to 'stitch' someone up...what? i was trying to be helpful...only to get flamed by some prick who, i assume thinks he knows better.
the pressure required to rotafix with the hands on the wheel is greater than the friction of the tyres on the road surface before a skid ensues, therefore rotafix is perfectly safe if executed correctly.
