i got a double fixed rear hub, i have a 16 philwood cog on one side and the other side is for me to test out different cogs haha, and thanks for that info, i didnt know you could flip the goddamn lock rings around!

If you use the 14T Miche sprocket, make sure the chain clears the lock ring, I'm not sure how big the tool interface is on the Phil. You need the OD to be 47mm or less to clear a chunky 1R8 chain with a 14T sprocket, obviously there's a little bit more leeway if you're using a wimpy chain.

On balance, I'd rather have Phil sprockets on a Miche hub than the other way around :-)
I'm assuming that that you're using a Phil lock ring, and it's the stepped down diameter (made to clear the chain on a 12T sprocket) which isn't big enough to overlap the Miche sprocket splines. You could just flip the lock ring around so that the larger diameter tool interface part of the lock ring is pushed up against the sprocket and carrier.
If you don't want to risk the engraving on your Phil lock ring by flipping it over, you can use the Miche lock ring, it's 1.32" threaded like Phil. Long term, get Phil sprockets (and of course one of my tarty lock rings :-) )
