Many, many years ago it was standard practice to convert your road bike to fixed for winter training by simply unscrewing the freewheel, screwing on a sprocket and shortening the chain. No lockring. Rest of the bike remained so 2 brakes stayed on. Never had a problem with this, or even saw it as a problem.
How times change :-)
