Gave my fixie a complete service last night and though 'It's ttime to remove that front brake, I havn't used it at all for the past few rides so I should be fine!'.
Well, I'm flying down the hill on my way back from town and this happens...

Cracked my lock ring mid braking. Needless to say the result was not pretty but not much damage was done to me, the bike or the 4x4 I went into.
I have fitted a identical spare I have but my question is this: Are all lockrings one standard size? And what is a really good brand or specific lockring to buy as I don't really trust the one I have on there now.
