Okay, So I have potentially a stupid question...
The fixed gear and lock-ring on the rear hub, which way round should they be installed?
I originally chucked the sprocket on such that it would tighten when pedalling forward, and the lock-ring on the opposite threading, (which I understand is the correct method?)
It seems the gap between the sprocket and the spokes isn't deep enough, and I'm getting a clickety-clack when the pedals turn. If I flip the sprocket the other way (to give more room), won't this be threaded incorrectly?
