Might have to re-dish the rear wheel to get a good chainline and possibly move the large chainwheel to the inner position on the spider, if possible.
I was thinking of doing that but then I'd have to buy a freewheel for ~15 and then a lockring remover for about ~7. Extra costs on a beater bike... maybe one day when I have to replace the chain I'll look into doing that.
