I have gone from a Miche sprocket on a rubbish hub with a rubbish lockring... and never had a slippage issue.
I'm now running the same ratio, but with a single piece sprocket and DA lockring, which was installed by Kinoko Cycles on a new halo aerotrack wheel.
it's slipped... I'm confused, I thought with everything upgraded there would be no problems... and i'm feeling to precious about the DA lockring to go at it with a hammer and screwdriver! do the miche tend to slip less, or is it that proper tools are generally less tight than rotofix and hammer method?
