Fair point. I can't see why they would, I just thought they *had * - so that the total amount of threads was equal on both sides... for ease of manufacture, and to create a symmetrical hub, I guess.
It's more the "overhang" that I thought was the theoretical issue.
When you see pictures like this, it looks as those the total amount of available thread is the same, but on a fixed sprocket part of this is reversed for the lockring.
I've never had a real life one to measure tho.
