>Does anyone know if Maxi Car made a track/pista hub? ' I very much doubt it. Maxi-Car hubs were mostly used by cyclotourists, who for the most part used gears.

I have seen a Rene Herse fixed-gear bike with Maxi-Car hubs, but the hub was a road hub, with a (custom-machined?) sleeve that screwed onto the freewheel threads, and which was threaded at the end for the fixed cog. No lockring.

The bike is here
