Nice try.
Suicide Hub
A rather alarmist and silly name for a freewheel hub used as a fixed-gear hub.
Any standard-thread freewheel type hub will also accept a fixed-gear ("track ") sprocket . This is a common technique for converting an older bike to fixed gear on the cheap.
Despite the silly name, this is no more dangerous than using a freewheel, as long as you keep front and rear hand brakes installed.
Suicide hub, not a suicide bicycle...
With all the precautions taken (loctite, BB lock ring with loctite, brakes) I wouldn't even bother buying a new wheel until that one broke.
