CRAAAAAZY question, need help.

howdy,

post alot in other subforums, first time posting here... used to ride fixed wheel audax quite a bit years ago when I lived in England, decided I miss it.

anyway, heres the skinny:

I want to build one wheel for a Kogswell PR frame using a 135 rear (MTB) disk hub with a bolt on fixed cog.

I want the option of being able to use the cassette sometimes too by adding a derailleur and flipping the wheel around.

SO: casette one side, fixed cog bolted to disk other side... possible? Anyone want to measure an MTB disk rotor to see what the potential chainline would be?

PS, not interested in hearing why its a stupid idea, or why i shouldnt do it, just want to know if it will work... Im hoping that the disk mount cog would be around 54mm chainline, meaning i could ride fixed with a chainring in the outer position of an MTB triple crank. Anyone done such an ill-advised and foolish thing?

TIA
