Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

will a 16 work

I have a current setup ( for off road) 46/18 with some sturdy wheels
I would like to sometimes use some road wheels with a 16---am I likely to be able to use the same setup ?
I have an old road frame with horizontal dropouts(read angled down) and I probably only have about 1/2'' left of rear movement
The is no chain tensioning device
Thanks
