Yes. The threadings are the same; 1.375x24 tpi.
And if so, is it possible to build a fixie by brazing the cog to the hub? We are talking about a cheap steel hub.
Yes. Red loctite/ JB weld in conjunction with a BB lockring are also used for this bumbike, suicide, or ghetto fix conversion.
I would say that if you are reasonably proficient in welding/brazing, ther would be no problem with the cog coming off.
