I have never, ever, *ever* un-spun a fixed cog, lacking a lockring reverse or standard threaded, or loctite blue, red or what have you. Take a charge or two up a steep hill with your newly installed fixed cog (grease the cog threads first) and you will get that bastard so tightly onto the hub that it will take some almost heroic effort to remove it from the hub. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
