Will my flip/flop hub work?

Hi Guys,

Please don't jump on me too hard if this is goofy. In my new attempt to solve a problem I don't have I am looking into adding a gear to the flip side of my current touring bike's hub. I have a Phil Wood 145mm Arai drum brake threaded cassette rear hub, which is symmetrical. I seems that the threading for the drum brake are the same as that on a freewheel hub. Could I thread on a singlespeed freewheel like the ENO by Whites Industries, and flip the wheel if for some reason the cassette failed?

Thanks,
Tom
