I ruined the fixed side of my flip flop hub by poor cog installation. However, I was wondering if anyone nows what may be underneath the freewheel, ie if i take it off, will it have two threads for me to put cog and lockring, or only 1 (making it a suicide hub, methinks?)? It's the stock hub that comes with the charge plug, so does anyone have any exerience of this?

freewheel = regular single thread

if you have a big enough cog you can slip a BB lockring on after to secure it.

get a new on-one hub for £15 rather than run a suicide set-up.

You can stick a freewheel on a fixed thread. No idea what the plug has though, its very likely to be a freewheel thread.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
