um, pretty sure tis a fixie. i cant cost, i can pedal backwards. just a bmx freewheel threaded on, its not a bmx hub, so its just straight threaded on. why is that sketchier than other fixed gears? to much torque on that shitty hub? seems to be working fine to me.

if it is a freewheel, you can freewheel. otherwise it is a cog, and you need a lockring, as the backwards torque would just thread it right off the hub. the reason using this said fixed cog would be sketchy is that the threads and overall wheel would probably break fairly quickly as they don't look up to the task.
