As for the cog, I'm running it on my Monocog 29er now, and ran the same cog on a SS 26er before that. I bought an $8, 18t Shimanno BMX cog and drilled it. Just use a bit designed for drilling harder steel. Your hardware store should know what you're talking about.
And while I'm thinking about it ... I don't know of any 120mm disc hubs, but you could put a 100mm front disc hub on a 120mm axle with some spacers ... Its been
done before. Might be less of a hassle and more reliable.

Think it would be cheapest of all to get two 29er front wheels and drill a cog? Are 29er rims exceptionally wider than road rims? My hub is partially stripped so I need to plan for the future.
