Only if, a: the thread's right, and b: there's the outside thread for a lockring. Otherwise if you stop pedalling the cog will unscrew and fall off...

I know what your saying, but I don't use lockrings anyhow. I race on the velodrome and I've never needed to use lockrings. Thanks anyhow

Don't they have scrutineering any more... ?
Back in the day, I wouldn't have been allowed out on the track without a lockring.

They only use them on tandems, nothing else.
