I also used Loctite 641 to keep the bearing in place, and cured the retaining compound for 24h. It worked at first, but then the bearing came out by hand after a couple of rides. I hope it works for you, but it definitely didn't work for me.

Looking at the photos of the freehub, I can safely conclude that this rear hub is potentially very dangerous. Note the swelling of the material where the pawls are seated. The alumiminum is far too soft and is literally compressing causing the material to deform into a wave at the base of the pawl. This increases the space between the end of the pawl and the ratchet ring. This in turn will lead to missed engagements and a real risk that the entire ratchet mechanism will self destruct and let go. I haven't seen this problem this severe since early Zipp hubs. When they do let go the risk of serious injury is great. Inspect and be careful. Plan to rebuild with a better hub at some point. Better yet avoid Winspace wheels. (I do like their gravel frame though.)
