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
What are you going to do about the derailleur when you're riding the fixed side, and where will you get the additional chain length when you're riding the derailleur side?
