i have an old bike that i'm going to turn into a pub bike. i've got a new chainset for it so i'll need a new bottom bracket, but since it has an old cottered one in there already i can use the bb lockring on the rear hub which only has the standard freewheel thread. it's not as good as a proper track hub and lockring since the threading is going the same way but i hear it's pretty good, better than loctite alone anyway.
so, the point is, if you need to get a new bottom bracket then keep the old lockring from it for a nice cheap fix
