Yeah I ran one brakeless on my main bike for a long while, now that wheel has been relocated to a couple different beaters. Not a single problem, with a DA cog and lockring.
BUT
I still say get something better. Spend twice as much and get a hub that will last five times as long.
This may be of interest to some: Your LBS only has to pay $16 for a Suzue Basic hub. What does that tell you about it's manufacturing? To me it speaks volumes.
