ok....do you guys know on a freewheel there is like a ring that has two little round indentions it for a tool right? know to take that off you have to spin it forward, the one i took off a freewheel mounted directly onto the hub without even touching the freewheel, so the threads on it are reversed, because if you try to put it back you have to spin it backwards. It goes directly onto the hub, not all of them do it. Now i want to use this instead of a lockring because its the same thickness so im guessing its strong enough. Because the threads on the wheel i took it off are regular on the hub, but that lockring for the freewheel has reversed threads so it spins on backwards to tighten. So my i want to know can i u seit? since i f i pedal backwards, it tighens cause its reversed, that is if the cog trys to move.
