Miche hubs - their own lockring?

Posted on
  • A friend of mine was given a wheelset for his first fixie. He was missing a lockring and I had a few spares so he came over to collect one. Well, neither of my lockrings fit. It's a Miche hub, but I didn't make note what model it was. I was wondering: Is it possible that Miche hubs have their own type of lockring?

  • possible italian thread?

  • Was it a 'Primato' hub, as far as I am aware Miche hubs have their own Lockrings, which have Italian threading, as opposed to British threading.

    I could, however, be completely wrong.

  • ah, there you have it. If two people say it, it must be true.

  • Thanks then people. Italian it is. :)

  • miche lockrings work but most say they are rubbish. Italian threading is correct for miche hubs.
    So now three say it, it totally true.

  • speaking of miche hubs, does anyone know the difference between the x-press ones and the primato? is there a difference? i've seen both online for similar prices...

  • X-press and fixed/free, primato are just fixed

    Miche lockring are made out of cheese, very soft cheese

  • so since everybody says miche lockrings are crap, which ones are good and will fit on miche hubs (i.e. italian threads)?

  • campag lockring if you can find 1

  • 14 quid at condor

  • brilliant, will pop round tomorrow.

  • don't forget the lockring must be tall enough to hold the carrier and the cog in place if you're fitting a miche cog, also ask to see if it fits before purchasing as i've been sold the wrong lockring on 2 occasions at condor

  • problem is with those -if like me you're using the miche cog system- that they're not very high (deep?) so they only apply pressure on the seven 'teeth' that hold the cog in the carrier whereas the miche lockring makes contact with a good part of the cog itself too.
    this may be based on misinformation or wrong assumptions on my part, so if anyone has a campa lockring could measure the outside diameter, that would be nice... the miches are 44mm.

  • damn, rocksteady beat me to it ;)
    me=slow typing master

  • Condor lockring is 39mm
