So will this screw on to my old Hope screw-on SS hub and turn it into a fixie?
Thanks
Suicide hub?
I'm thinking you won't get the lock ring on.
Suicide hub??
Does the lockring have an opposite thread then?
Yeah I'm pretty sure the hub should have a smaller reverse thread to accept the lock ring.
You could still get the cog on, but anti-pedal braking may pop it off. So only a suicide hub if you have no back-up brake.
Yeah- sadly pre-disc
can use an old BB lockring to do it. i had a fixed roadbike that i rode for over a year with no problems.
Its debatable as to whether you actually need a lockring on fixed.See the Fixie FAQs: http://fixiefaqs.netcipia.net/xwiki/bin/view/Main/#Q2.3
If you screw the sprocket on tight, then right hard up a few hills, it should get it pretty secure. Unless you are skid-stopping regularly, there shouldn't be much danger of it unscrewing.
