Because you don't have a lockring thread on the hub? If you ride carefully then using a BB lockring with plenty loctite is OK. Not ideal, but not immediate death either.
Just don't skid.
And don't install brakeless.

No, I have a old Sovos hub that uses a non standard lockring that are impossible to get hold of now (didn't realise when I bought the wheel).
No skidding and no brakless although I do like to back pedal for scrubbing of speed. I was exploring all options before admitting (to myself) that I'll have to get new wheel. :)

Is there a safe way of running a fixed wheel without using a lockring?
