Product Introduction
The Kappstein Lockring is a precision-engineered track and fixed gear lockring, designed to securely fix the sprocket to the hub under high drivetrain loads.
Manufactured in Germany from high-quality 630 stainless steel, the lockring is developed with increased material thickness to improve structural strength and long-term reliability. It is compatible with both BSA and Italian threaded track hubs, ensuring broad compatibility across fixed gear systems.
As part of the drivetrain interface, the lockring plays a critical role in maintaining mechanical stability and safety, particularly under braking forces and reverse torque typical in fixed gear riding.
Why This Lockring Is Different
• Extra-thick construction for improved structural strength
• Designed to prevent deformation during tightening and use
• Compatible with both BSA and Italian threaded hubs
• Precision CNC-machined for secure and consistent fit
Technology Inside
This lockring incorporates key Kappstein engineering and manufacturing principles:
• Extra-Thick Geometry (6.5 mm) – significantly wider than typical lockrings, increasing resistance to deformation and improving load distribution during tightening
• High-Strength 630 Stainless Steel – selected for durability, wear resistance, and long-term structural integrity under repeated drivetrain loads
• Optimized Tool Interface Design – wide engagement surfaces reduce the risk of tool slippage and prevent rounding of notches during installation, addressing a common failure point in standard lockrings
• Precision CNC Manufacturing – fully produced in-house to ensure thread accuracy, surface finish, and consistent engagement with hub threads
• Laser Engraving Integration – marking applied within Kappstein’s production process, maintaining full control over quality and finish

Real-World Performance
In fixed gear systems, the lockring must withstand continuous torque, reverse loading, and braking forces. The Kappstein Lockring is engineered to deliver:
• Secure fixation of the sprocket under high load
• Resistance to deformation during tightening and riding
• Reliable thread engagement with minimal risk of loosening
• Consistent performance over long service life
• Mechanical stability that supports overall drivetrain integrity
These characteristics are critical for track cycling and fixed gear riding, where drivetrain security directly affects performance and safety.
Applications
Ideal for:
• Track Cycling
• Fixed Gear Bikes
• Singlespeed Drivetrains
