I'm on a budget and want to try fixed before commiting to building a set of track wheels.
I have a tatty 531 bike with threaded pre cassette freewheel hub 700cc wheels.
What should I do when putting the track cog on the hub:-
I was thinking I would put a lock ring on, locktite it and use the Rotafix method and leave it to set for 24 hours.
I'll also be keeping both brakes on while using the set up
Does this seem enough - am I missing something?
Sheldon Brown accepted and used 'suicide hubs' but there seems to be a lot of scorn for the idea on the web.
Thanks
