someone on here fixed their rear hub by using a dremel to grind a channel into the hub thread and fashioned a notched washer to stop the lock ring unscrewing. might have been on the current projects thread about 6 months ago.. might work?

i can't personally recommend doing anything other than using a proper track hub with a lockring, or a bolt on cog, or a surly fixxer.

velo libre; it's just that is it quite hard changing the hub in a disc wheel, and it's also quite hard using a bolt on cog, and a surly fixxer only works on a shimano cassette hub.. :(

smithchild; but that would require a redish... can't be done on this wheel..

Is it a screw on freewheel block already on there I presume? If so, in your case it seems like one of these things maybe your only option. Not cheap, but then again I bet that wheel wasn't either.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
