• I know what a lock ring is for.
    I hoped to fit a BB lockring (obviously not a true lock ring).
    Can't fit a lock ring on non track hub.
    I have tried to pedal brake as hard as I could, but couldn't budge it, I was fairly surprised by this I have to say.
    I can't, don't want to or see the point in skid braking, my point was that I would be more concerned of the lack of lock ring if I did do "skidding"
    I have a brake too, infact there are 2 in the sale.
    As I said, if I were to keep it I'd go SS.

    mate, unless you're riding round a velodome, a lockring is essential nonetheless and you don't need to learn how to 'skid' just to ride a fixed wheel bicycles,

    a lockring is essential because you'll end up using your legs to slow down the wheel, there will be moment when you're going fast downhill and a slight resistance of the pedals would be enough to undo the cog.

    put a lockring on, ride it properly, and then decided whether you want to sell it or not.
