Can anyone help. I'm in the process of saving for a new rear wheel - the ones on ebay seem to go for silly money when you compare the price of new. I'm looking to strip the gears of the cassette hub that I'm currently using and using it as single speed (freehub not suicide). Does anyone have any experience as to the lock rings? On a Shimano style hub it is the last cog - is this correct? Can you buy a lock ring instead of using the last cog? I've got a load of spacers from old cassettes so the chain line shouldn't be too much of an issue. Just want to get the ruddy dérailleur off the back! Any useful advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Anthony
