Doing my first single speed conversion. I bought a single speed wheelset off one forum member and another donated me a sprocket + spacer set when I bought a frame off him. I'm trying to put the two together and fairly certain this won't work.

Do I need a lockring to go inside my sprocket? The sprocket diameter is too small for the threaded section on the hub even if I had one. Here's a pic so you can all share your laughter at my folly, any advice much appreciated. https://imgur.com/a/wepCOYr

Threaded freewheel cogs can be as cheap as you like.

Btw, are you sure you don't want to make it a fixed gear conversion instead of a single speed conversion?

Thanks, I bought a super cheap one from sjscycles just now. Have every part but a brake, a shim for my bars and my grips now.

I'm 98% certain I want to make it a single speed rather than fixed, yes. Why do you ask?
