250lbs, known for shearing pedals, bending chainrings and breaking axels and it is holding up very well so far... I really dig it... so much easier to change cog when I need to...

+1, Miche lockrings are ABSOLUTE garbage. They're not cleanly made and shouldn't be used. If you do end up getting a miche lock ring, do me a favor and run your finger along the threads.... then go get a bandaid from all the burs....then go get a tetanus shot

Here's a typical installation >>> https://www.worldclasscycles.com/mich...ier_on_hub.htm
Note the use of a Dura Ace lockring. This is how mine is set up.
