Phil, pushing the bike, no, but unexpected rocks, roots, drops and other adventures easily could.
So, to double check my understanding of the physics of the rotafix technique and why it doesn’t require a lock ring (until it does) ... toque via the lever of the wheel snugs up the cog tighter than the same wheel will exert the other directly even under braking force because less friction with the ground than the 100% friction (effectively) of my hand when tightening. Do I have it right? To comfort any concerned by the suicide hub name, that refers to riding a fixed cog on free wheel hub without rim brakes, relying only on backpedaling for braking. One more question: what is the best ride value hub (as in not bling for bling’s sake, but will be the last hub this bike ever needs without costing too much) for a 120 flip/flop fix/ss hub? I have Surly at the bottom of pricepoint, high on the value scale, but does it rise to being a lifetime hub? If not what’s next and why? (Ducking now to let all the opinions fly by! Grin.).
