I have three fixed gear rear wheels and not one of them has decent lockring threads. It's only needed for my town hack runaround so it doesn't need to be anything fancy. Happy to service bearings and true it up myself (as long as it's within truable limits). Help me avoid weldtite-ing my cog on!
Wanted Any functional fixed gear rear wheel (700c)

Just rotafix the cog on. I’ve done it for maybe 10,000 miles.

How to Rotafix: Rotafix is a technique for tightening or loosening a cog without a chain whip. Why Roafix? Because standard chain whips do not fit 1/8” cogs, and you get the mechanical advantage of the entire wheel for tightening. When performing a rotafix, wrap a rag around the bottom bracket...

I already have! Still, I'd like the security of a lockring as well.Just rotafix the cog on. I’ve done it for maybe 10,000 miles.

I have a beater fixed wheel you can take, but would it have to be posted to you? I'm in NW London so would prefer you to collect if you'd happen to be local?
I'm very much not local to that - I'm in Glasgow. Trying to keep things cheap but with postage costs it might work out, but I don't want to cause you any hassle boxing it up waiting for a collection or whatever.

Yeah, totally fine if maybe you'd like to wait in case your ad brings about someone local offering you a wheel? My wheel's not going anywhere. If it comes to posting it, obvs it's a bit of a hassle. I also don't have a proper wheel box, so it would be a makeshift affair involving pieces of cardboard taped around.
