Old style freewheel work with fixed cog?
I have a beat up junker with rear wheel bolt/nut freewheel hub. Will a gear/cog and lock ring convert it for fixie use?

You can find a multitude of opinions and information by searching for suicide hub.
Summary and personal experience:
It will work. Use loctite and a brake. Don't do anything crazy.

If you go suicide you're be better off with a rear brake in addition to a front. I'm converting my friend's bike to suicide fixie temporarily until he buys a track hub, and we're going to leave the rear brake on.
