Some converters are lame & dangerous since they lack proper mechanical skills, hacks are hacks. When the "fixie" thing disappears club riders & fixed gear enthusiasts can get on with wrenching & riding as they have for the last bunch of decades, quietly.

I prefer to use tug backs, then you KNOW the wheel won't go forward. And I'm a bit concerned I might over torque the nuts...
