Yeah, I hadn't thought of the dissimilar metals. Looks like I am going the lockring route.
Do you have any brakes on the bike or do you rely solely on the fixed gear for braking? Just wondering how strong the setup is. I will likely run at least a front brake.
Thanks,
Oh yeah- positive it is a freewheel hub.

You will probably need to space the hub to get a good chain line and then dish the rim over a bit to get it recentered. I have a bunch of miles on a similar set up with no problems.
