  Haha ye i know. I have other bikes to ride. i just want to ride this one. Shes a beauty. As i said im too impatient. I bought some loctite which seems to be holding pretty well with the BB lockring. As soon as my loan comes through i will buy some track wheels. I think its best by the sounds of things.

  Cheers for the advice people. Gonna buy some loctite and a break lever. The originals are nice wheels and i dont want to ruin them by letting my mate loose with a welder. I get your point, bad idea.
  Sorry Tee.

  And get some brakes.

  ye your right, i know. but that means buying a dirty harry brake lever or one that can fit on the center of my bars, and most importantly more money. of which i have none. i will put one on but i want to ride now!! impatient or what, but if i can this to work there might not be anyneed for brakes. hopefully.

  cheers for the advice. ive managed to put off the welding for a day or two. The wheels are fairly old, late 70's i think and closer inspection it looks to me like they are steel not ali. I dont know fuck all about metals really so i could be wrong. And if it is, and welding is possible, any other forseen problems anybody can think of??

  first of all i apologise for hijacking your thread. it was just that it was the most recently posted in the mechanics section and i really need some advice pronto.

  Right now, i have no money to buy some track wheels to complete my most recent bike project so im converting the rear wheel that was originally with the bike. So far ive got the sprocket held in place with a BB lockring. With no brakes im worried this just wont hold and it will end up with me in hospital. Soo... my mate wants to weld the sprocket onto the hub... tomorrow morning! Is this possible?? Is the metal types suitable for welding? I just dont know. Have people done this before? I know this is a bit of a long shot hoping for advice before tomorrow morning but it thought it was worth a try.
  cheers!
