My lockring doesn't lock! I thought I had a stripped thread but on a closer inspection all seems to be fine. everytime I "do a skid" (when some punter yells at me) I end up turning my fixie into a freewheeler. I just can't seem to work out what is going on.
[I have even tried threadlock - much to the disgust o many on this forum I imagine]
Thing is I am riding a friend's charge plug whilst he is on holiday to see if I like the whole ss thing - after a week or two I flipped to fg and haven't looked back. I don't want to replace the hub as he rides free wheel and I'll be getting my own bike in a month or so. (What's the best otp for c.£400? - just jokes)
Any suggestions on how to get the lock ring to lock would be great.
cheers
