• Also.
    I have a Shimano center lock rear wheel.
    I have a Shimano center lock converter to 6 bolt.
    I have a 6 bolt bolt on cog.

    Any reason not to use the above together? Will the aluminium splines of the center lock be able to withstand the drivetrain forces? Something something physics.
    @gbj_tester the probable person to call..

  • I have considered this before
    However the splines will be strong enough - designed to take same forces as 6 bolt
    However braking forces only apply in one direction
    On a sprocket they can be forwards and back and you will feel a rocking sensation
    If you lock the brakes on disc with centre lock and rock backwards and forwards you well feel it.
    Like riding with a slack chain on fixed feeling

  • I had the same thinking; good enough for braking, good enough for riding innit?!

    The rocking back and forth I don't understand; if the lockring is torqued up sufficiently that shouldn't happen right?
    I actually also have a steel center lock lockring lying around..
