sorry to dig up old threads. but yesterday took my new bike for a spin, first time brakless on the road,
on my way out, i stopped at edwardes cycles in camberwell to get a new lockringring fitted, rode up east, and sure enough some knob walked out in front of me at liverpool street. i tried to stop quickly and the lockring and sprocket slipped. (scared the shit outta me)
popped to blb as i was just round the corner, who tightened it and said the threads were fine but it had no grease on the lockring. I'm just a little scared about trying it again and wondering if i had one of these 'suicide hubs' or if it was just because of the lack of grease.
its the old style dura ace high flange like this
any help appreciated on this - id rather not find out the hard way on this one.
