You've been given good advice by some very knowledgeable people! I personally don't use those rings, but some guys swear by them. As I see it, as the shoes wear the ring will become particularly more and more out of round and its effectiveness will diminish, becoming just one more variable to deal with.
One simple tip I was given (but obviously missed by me) was to stack your weights on the outside so that you don't have to pull the hub should you want to play with the clutch "tune".
I also made a spanner type wrench that has two "spuds" which nest between the shoes and effectively prevents the crank from turning when tightening and/or removing the clutch nut...learned a hard lesson on not getting it torqued properly!
Use the the Tric-Loc oil and you will never use anything else.
I'm sure experiences and opinions are going to vary, hopefully a few others can provide additional input that will be useful & constructive to you.
Good luck.
Paul
