Hub gears will be heavy but you could build it up strong enough, it's just balls will go through the wheel for sure.
re: Disc brake, a lot of us just have the standard Deore guy that's like £60 (often £40 on CRC) all in. Some of us upgraded to XT recently and regret it (they don't seem to be as robust/we've had lever problems).

Ok more musings but will keep it short, I’ve got a two speed Brompton hub here that is the correct track spacing, possible commute/polo combo rear wheel like Jimmy’s? Only thing is it’s 28 hole but I think you could build it strong, any thoughts?
