Stripped one on 41x21 CX-race in the forest - a low quality no-name lockring on Navigators.

Mine was a charge lockring on a raleigh 'track' wheel.

I see your 5 and raise them 8 years of riding fixehs

never in that time have i stripped a thread

and believe me, my legs are more hench than yours.

Indra, left and pooface, right.

Indra:

Cool, was a joke.

It's well know that when the lockring is a little loose it's easy to strip it when you pull the cog off and then you've got the fact that it was a pretty cheap wheel too.

cheap does not equal poor quality.

I have stripped one lockring since I was 21 and that was down to user error.

^^it does

I've stripped two crap hubs but never had a problem on Goldtec, Phil or even Gran Compe hubs

I find it's more the lockring problem rather, I have stripped a Miche hubs because the lockring wasn't in contact with the cog properly.

^also true. ever since I used Dura Ace / Phil lockrings, never had a problem

got to agree here. Ive used a range of hubs/sprockets/lockrings.

I even once used a miche locking which are made of soft cheese allegedly. never stripped it.

once over tightened my track nuts and cracked one of the cone nuts but thats just user error

Are you hell bent on blaming me for everything?
It was not a good idea to carry on riding after it slipped but if there was an installation error it was the twat* at Evans that installed it.

Pretty much, as it's fairly hard to strip a hubs if it was installed properly.

Very possible, it did survive fun for 2 years though without fail, the wheel is only around a month old and didn't seem great quality.

Possibly but it's odd that it would go now, never had a problem with this lockring in the 2 years.

Lack of attention to the bicycle until it failed dramatically then?

Well what do you believe was done wrong here?

It was tightened at Evans by Tenners, he said he did it as tight as he could and has never had a problem before, I have used the lockring for 2 years and not had a problem. The wheel is relatively new and as I understand not terribly good quality.

Lack of attention?
Mate it was tightened in the shop that day.

Unless the hubs is defected in the first place, installation error seemed to be likely.

Sorry Tenners (I don't think sales assistant is suppose to work in the mechanic bay).

Not supposed to be in there, no. But that doesn't make me incompetent thanks...

The hub could have been made from sub standard or faulty materials like the charge/halo one was and the sugino messenger cranks were.

It may just be sarcasm not translating over the internet, but that was a real dickish thing to say.

Even if not, I highly doubt anyone who works in a bike shop and own(ed)s a fixed gear would be incapable of swapping a cog and tightening a lockring.

never had problems with charge hubs, halo cogs/lockrings or sugino messenger cranks

Indeed it was, I'm sorry but all I can see is a possible installation error by the sound of it.
