An ever present headache with "normal fixed hubs" is the assembly of a drive cog that is attached by a thread being pulled in both directions by the pedal torque. Of course, the traditional solution to avoiding the cog unwinding itself from the hub in the reverse direction is a left hand threaded lockring, butted up tight against the cog. But, as many riders have found out, this historic system can be relatively volatile.
Halo thought there has to be a better way: A splined hub body (with cogs that slide on) and an independent lockring that never has to handle rotational forces from the drive.
Halo Fix-G hub: The Halo Fix-G hub features a fixed HG spline machined as part of the alloy main hub body*, with a conventional internal thread for a standard HG type lockring (with easy tool fittings). options L/H side for conventional fixed or freewheel threads.
(*Note: Must ONLY ever be used with 7mm base Wide Foot cogs such as Gusset Double Six cogs to avoid the cog biting into the alloy splines on the hub. http://www.gussetbikes.com/gusset/products-information.php?id=CSGU612 Regular width HG cogs should NEVER be used.)
