Hi,
I've just built the wheels for a fixed wheel conversion I'm doing.
These are the hubs I'm using:

I'm currently sorting out the chain alignment and the sprocket.
1) I'm going to need spacers, right?
2) Using a lockring? The sprocket will tighten naturally because of the chain direction. However, it will loosen if
I try to slow the rear wheel down with my feet whilst riding? I've read that I'll need a lockring to counteract this problem but I'm
not clear as to where the lockring will go because it's a different sort of lockring to that which one finds on a cassette hub.
