Ok... well since it is not a fixie... and it is not a track hub... can I just get a thread on cog (like a BMX cog? ) and thread it down snug on the hub ? I'm thinking against the lockring.. since, in my mind anyways, it is it's own lockring... at least the 11T cog that I pulled off my 6 speed hub was acting as the lockring...
