Or, perhaps some with a fixie sprocket screwed onto a freewheel hub without a lockring.
I've seen pseudo fixies with a cog screwed onto a freewheel hub (no freewheel though) and then a bottom bracket adjustable cup ring tightened up against that cog. I guess the rider rides a bit in a quiet area to tighten the cog and then retightens the lockring. I wonder just how secure that really is. I think there's a good reason why the lockring of a true fixed gear hub screws on differently than the cog does.
