I won't ever again but that is because fix gear hubs are now easy to get, I love building wheels, track hub with their wide flange spacing make such good ones and I have had a lifetime's worth of "incidents". But if I were 22 again and wanted to try fix gear and had a FW wheel on hand, I'd do it again in a flash. (That my first ride ended as it did was proof enough that the BB lockring can work rather well!)
