I consider myself to blame. I thought I could ask a multiple part question and I know that never works.
Recap of op
1. Can I get a thread on freewheel with 5 gears on it that was meant for a "10 speed bike" with two chrings up front and 5 in the back. To work on a "track wheel" that came originally with a thread on freewheel that had 1 gear on it.
*Read an old thread that with a person that did it. Also read here from people that never have that I can't.
2. At 185lbs running 35c tires in a urban and metro area. What is a recommend spoke count for my size and usage.
*Some said no less than 24 👌
3. Does the use of a high flange hubs negate possible comfort characteristics of running a wheels with a higher spike count.
*Still anxious waiting to learn something new
