if I put a solid spline in there I could make a beater fixie skidder disc out of one of the worlds most expensive disc wheels.
As everybody else has already said, the drive goes through a thread which you can't lock in any practical way, so skids will just unwind everything. The easiest way to attach a fixed sprocket to it in order to make a suicide hub would be to take out the splined part and make the mounting thread on your fixie adapter to match the female thread in the hub shell. Loctite the adapter properly into the hub shell and use a threaded sprocket with no lock ring, so that if anything does unwind it's the sprocket off the adapter, not the adapter out of the hub shell.

Aaaah, so do the freehub bearings run on that hollow axle and I am missing the parts in 2? (edit: bit slow, answered above)
Or more importantly if I put a solid spline in there I could make a beater fixie skidder disc out of one of the worlds most expensive disc wheels...
