I have a chance to get a set of these from a guy I work with for $50. The hubs are drilled for disc brakes. I'm thinking I flip the rear wheel add a drilled track cog and ride the front with a disc brake.
Does anyone have any history with this method? Using a drilled cog on a hub drilled for disc brakes?
Here's a link to a picture and some reviews of the set.

Bikes: too many
wheels are the wrong size
rear hub is 15mm too wide.
you could maybe use the front wheel in the back if you respace the hub, i think the narrower hub shell will give a better chainline

I meant the wheelset is a 26" rim mountain bike wheelset. Dont waste your money. I did that once and now have a $50 wheelset sitting in the corner collecting dust and taking up space. Just save up and buy a good wheelset that actually fits your bike.
