it has now. get a real hub.
"lictit"? is that pillow talk?
against my adament advice to not use this setup, my friend did so while waiting for a track hub. he never skidded, but did skip at times. during a ride he went to apply back pressure and the cog unscrewed completely along with the bb lockring, despite all locktite attempts. or lictit and you boulder hippies use. luckily he was riding with a brake.
i think the constant forward and reverse pressure sort of kept slightly tightening and loosing the parts, causing wear on the threads. we screwed the cog back on, but it seemed to not tighten all the the way.
why were you running a bumbike fixie setup with no brake?
