That's exactly what I was referring to. I knew about using the BB lockring on freewheel hubs, but all I'd seen in reference to safety were hubs with no lockring, maybe hosed down in some Loctite or J.B. Weld.
This means track hubs are reverse thread as I thought originally. That would mean a track gear might be ISO thread, but in the wrong direction for my freewheel hub. I could put one on with the outside facing in, right?
