Lockring issues

  • clearly i am an idiot but even after reading various old threads can i just confirm that my old miche lockring will not work on my impending glodtech hub ? opinion seem to be that i can use my italian threaded cog as the tolerances are close. poor and paranoid about stripping it.
    advice ?
    cheers

  • best to get a new lockring.

    shimano DA ones are good

  • what he ^ says, DA all da way

  • I've got DA on mine. Both work fine.

    I don't mean to be patronising, but you are turning it anti-clockwise to screw it on?

  • also, not sure about running a italian threaded cog on there.

  • It says on the BETD web site that Goldtec hubs use Shimano lockrings.

  • Sorry to hijack the thread but is it OK to use an EAI cog on a Dura-Ace hub. Just the lockrings that aren't meant to be swappable?

  • yes, eai on dura ace is fine, but once you've used one brand, stick to it. differ cog manufacturers all have slightly diff thread tolerances, so by using a variety of cog brands, you may be shifting the threads on your hub, and i've seen a few hubs stripped because of this. go with eai, but then always go with eai.
