Uoeno-
He's kind of right, I've got them on the Duratec :/ They were never designed in mind for skidding around town. The og Ellipses have a gap between the cog and lock ring thread, because they don't come into direct contact with each other there is a possibility of threading the cog when skidding.
Saying that, I've got a surly cog/lockring combo and they are so blench that they actually do make contact, but that's not the case for all cogs/rings. If in doubt use a shim.
Antidotes
Apologies if repost but I'm really feeling this build. I would slam dat stem and loose the rack because I'm not about #racklyf but it's definitely the nicest b/y vig I've seen.
