I believe Riv used a BB lockring to hold the fixed cog tight on one side of the free/free Suzue hub on my Quickbeam – I don’t think I’ve ever actually focused on it, but that’s what they said way back then.

It uses the wheel as leverage which gets far more torque than a chainwhip. I've used this method to setup fixed gears for myself on a regular freewheel threading and have never had a cog come loose. I don't skid stop but I do resist pedaling to slow down. http://www.urbanvelo.org/issue11/urbanvelo11_p76-77.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qIVEpyelP0 David Chicago On Sunday, October 26, 2014 9:48:55 AM UTC-5, Kainalu wrote: That makes sense, you could use another cog on there as a lockring of sorts, and if you carried a chainwhip you could swap your fixed set. Or I suppose you could use your crank and chain as a chainwhip just as easily by using a stick to brake the crank. There must be a thread around here somewhere that touches on all the details of this, that maybe able to dispel all the myths I'm able to cook up in my head regarding simple and cheap two geared fixed gears with a third as lockring and superfluous 3rd option... freewheeling 13 until then I think -Kai On Sunday, October 26, 2014 9:11:17 AM UTC-4, Deacon Patrick wrote: It's free/free, and I have a 22t free on the flip side. I was told I could put on a fixed gear and it would work fine so long as I didn't do aggressive backpedaling to brake (since I have brakes) -- so that's my plan for "someday" when I try it out. But I definitely like having the freewheel for single track, dodging rocks and roots and steep trough-trail sections.
