I was riding home this evening and all of a sudden my sprocket slipped as I peddled forward. I didn't have a lockring tool so I tried locking it up tight again by back peddling whilst still.. if you see what I mean.
Anyway, I rode off but it happened again and again until eventually I could continuously peddle forward. I thought that was it; I'd threaded the hub. But when I peddle backwards (unscrewed the sprocket) against the lockring it locks tight.
Have I threaded the hub or do you reckon it can be sorted out? I don't have a lockring tool right now so I can't get it off to check the damage.
I was wondering, if I've threaded the spoke side of the sprocket thread (and not the lockring side) then is there some kind of spacer I can put on the spoke side?
