thanks again, I've decided to invest in a couple good tools for Christmas! And maybe a stand.

I appreciate all of your help (and patience...) my main worry was that the hub was toast after only a few months. Damn, I am loving the commute on a fixed gear.

Of the family's 8 bikes, 4 need work (one headset, two bottom brackets, a casssette and now a cog and lockring)
