Even if I buy spacers and a chain tensioner, I don't see it costing more than $20-$30. Plus the chain ring, almost forgot about that.
PVC pipe, that's a different approach ... reckon cutting an aluminum pipe would work, assuming it was the right size? I'm not sure I'd trust pvc not to wear out or crack.
The active cog is keyed onto the freehub body. All the PVC spacers have to do is hold it still laterally. I'd think it would handle that.
