I know how the hubs work,just wondering if I can keep one locked and one unlocked while driving,since I have a driving flange on one,and a freewheel hub on the other one.

Shouldn't snap a half shaft, but won't serve any purpose either. When I acidently left one hub locked and one free it made very strange whistling/squeaking noises.
