@ Phil & Pete:
Experiment to 'fix' the Shimano freehub on the polo bike has worked at the second attempt. Used small lengths of allen key,filed to shape, and placed where the pawls used to be, to lock the inner and outer parts of the freehub together.
Got inspiration from this: http://www.63xc.com/mathieson/cheaphub.htm but went one stage further.
It's holding up to some pretty heavy abuse so far, fingers crossed, but cassette cogs could be a better fit. Now able to lock up the rear at will. Polo fixie skids a go-go ;)
If it doesn't survive the abuse, I'll weld the fucka!!
