Screw on wheel question?

Can you make a wheel suitable for screw on gears fixed? Im asking because someone has offered me a 7 speed compatable screw on wheel that i like but not sure if i can make it fixed? If you can how do i do it and where sells the parts?

maybe

wtf ???????

If you use a fixed cog it will likely unscrew - and you will be killed to death inside the London.

You could use a screw on freewheel just fine.

im guessin no still, my thinking is the lockring would unscrew, just wanted to see if there where any smart ideas i hadnt thought of!

File a slot or two into the thread and when the cog is fully tightened up whack some braze or something in there
Would work
but i wouldn't do it

you can't if you don't want the potential for the cog to unscrew leading to serious injury and/or death to you and/or others.

just get a freewheel on it or a proper track hub with a reverse threaded lockring.

Once tightened, there is no force acting on the freewheel that would make it unscrew, in theory you wouldn't even need a lock ring.

freewheels don't have lockrings. freewheels won't unscrew without a freewheel tool. a freewheel is not a cog. a freewheel means you can stop pedalling with the wheel still spinning.

freewheels don't have lockrings.

See !

No, no, no !

Yes..

you can use a BB lock ring to secure a fixed sprocket on that old 7 speed

... and die

there is a reason this set up is know as a 'suicide hub'

Stupid question but what about using some thread lock or glue?

just search suicide hub... then decide against it.

How about twine?

You could weld the fucker in place. Just pick your cog carefully.

Yes, and you could fashion a one piece fixed hub/sprocket combo with your bare hands from a lump of iron ore.

...or buy a £15 hub.

...obviously after first creating a suitably robust alloy. Metallurgy is not my forte.

there is a reason track hubs have reverse lockring threads. it is that bb lockrings, thread lock, and glue are fucking shite at holding cog's on.

Holding cog's what on?
