a bunch of my friends told me that the regular suicide hub with loc-tite is "safe" and "will not fail" but i dont trust it. i popped the cog, which was held on with loc-tite, off the hub with a few light taps of a hammer. not very sturdy if you ask me.

san antonio is not a bike-friendly city to begin with, so all of the bike shops are expensive. i am bikeless until i find a solution or pull some money out of my ass and buy a hub. all of my chromoly bmx bike parts are TIG-welded together (right?) with a heavy bead, so i would think that kind of bond would hold a cog/hub together, but its a different kind of force that is put on a fixed cog, so i could be wrong.
