hi everyone
(asking this on behalf of a mate who bought some wheels off here last week)
basically,he bought a fixed/track wheel set with a double fixed rear hub, ambrosia I think.
We went to install a 16T miche sprocket the other day with a miche track lockring off wiggle.
The problem he's having is that despite the sprocket screwing on fine (clockwise as expected), the locking (which we've been doing anticlockwise) won't seem to grab enough thread for it to tighten. It doesn't seem to work on either side of the hub (which makes me think it isn't actually the hub at all).
Was just wondering if anyone knows what could be the problem? its a brand new miche sprocket with a brand new miche locking on a fixed wheelset. Could it be a compatibility problem between the different parts/brands? if not will take it down lbs and get them to have a look for him.
cheers for the help!, waterfall
