That hub would sort-of work... But it would be a cludge. You could thread a cog on, but there would be no way to keep it on. You could use locktite or jb weld, but again, its a cludge. If you already own that hub, and don't want to buy anything, you could get away with it, but don't buy that hub.

I'd look for a 'real' track hub, which will have two sets of threads on each side. Like mentioned, Nashbar has their high flange track hub on sale right now, its 30$, which is damn cheap, and its a basic quality hub. It even includes lockrings, which saves you another 20$ down the line.

peace,
sam
