That's because you're smart.

I had five bikes set up this way, rode them for years through all kinds of weather (CLE, OH) and up and down many hills without a rear brake (except on my winter commuter) and I never had an issue with the cog coming loose.
I am ~200lb, I skid, and if you read my shiner post you will see that I just locked up the back wheel and the cog did not spin off.
Is it the best idea? no Can it be done with lasting results? sure
Enjoy
Thank you for helping in stopping the flood of BS in this thread.
Though I disagree that one has to use a permanent thread locker compound. Some day, one may want to re-use that wheel, or that cog, or both.
