There are single-sided options:

- Freewheel (with no cross-threaded lip for a lock ring), called "Free"
- Fixed Gear (with a cross-threaded lip for a lock ring), called "Fixed"

Then they come with options on both side, "flip/flop":

- Fixed/Free
- Fixed/Fixed (this is what you want).

Look for the stepped-lip.
