Today I had a spacer put inbetween the cog and lockring cause there is a small area between the two thread sets that is smooth. It didn't really fix it.
The problem is that you get he lockring tight and when you try and get it the last little bit, it pulls the cog with it. this loosens the cog and tightens the lockring. when you pedal forward, the cog slips tight and the lockring moves with it, getting a little loose. I have tried using the cog tightening technique using the frame...and whilei am holding hte cog in place like that, I have a friend wrench on the lockring.
I have never had this problem before and I can't figure out how to fix it yet.
Let me know if you solve it.
yes! exactly what happens here as well. so you have done the mashing pounding up hill and it still has the same effect when you tighten the ring too? i was goin to try that tomorow but now that you say this i think ima hold off on doing it myself. hmm i will def let you know if i can figure it out.
* i was thinkin maybe i may put the spacer at the back where the cog goes and then see if that works since it seems the cog isnt supertight against the hub back.
