Using chain tugs and a proper tighten of the nuts i can't imagine the hub moving in the dropouts.
The wheel moving accidentally is not the problem, it's when you want to adjust the chain tension or remove the wheel to fix a puncture then have to put it all back together again and get it all in the right place.
The adapter will fit the threads fine. Presuming you buy the right one, the one I have fits freewheel threads fine.
That caliper adapter though...>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now I'm with ya, I see how that could be a pain. Fairplay then, less than ideal but worth a shot purely for the crack (pun unintended). As for the caliper adapter I'm sure there are better alternatives out there, but this is literally an experiment just for fun. My thinking is to use the rear only as a backup to make the single speed safer. The abuse the bike has/will receive will outweigh the stress of the braking force anyway lol.

As above, will be running freewheel. I think for the sake of the cost i'll just try it. Using chain tugs and a proper tighten of the nuts i can't imagine the hub moving in the dropouts. I'll happily inflict a world of pain upon myself, they say the same about riding fixed brakeless...I just wonder if the adapter will fit the threads thats all haha
