Yeah, well, the current system of threaded cogs and lockrings was never designed with anything other than the velodrome in mind. Truly, it is rather archaic, considering we are riding machines that are virtually unchanged after 100+ years - and designed for something entirely different than what most of us use them for.

That is part of the joy and virtue of it all - but some things can be improved. Take a look at the INI hub for example. I don't have one, and probably won't for a good while, but from an engineer's perspective it is a far superior design to what we have now. Even using a boone cog with a disc hub is a huge improvement.
