Not at all, If I'm running a brake it's reasonably safe, I understand that there will be a lot of shock force onto it, I just don't understand why it wouldn't work??? There's grooves in the hub and lockring for the adhesive chemicals to bite into. I've built up this bike for about 6 quid and all I need is a rear wheel and don't want to have too fork out. Its not my nice bike so I really couldn't care how it's built so long as it can take me from pub to pub in the winter!!
