lockring

Threaded fastening ring

A lockring is a threaded ring that secures components in place, preventing them from loosening under vibration or rotation.

In cycling, lockrings hold cassettes onto wheel hubs or secure fixed-gear cogs to track wheels.

Similar rings appear in plumbing, machinery, and camera lenses.

Tighten the lockring with a spanner tool.
