Here is the commuter in Fixie mode, with a pretty small front chainring i admit, but i'm having to work with a short chain and very little room in the dropouts. Gave it a spin, carefully, and it seems okay. But i'm a bit of a wuss without brakes.
A pretty good chainline though, i think.
I tried the Shimano SLR brakes again with the new wheel, but no joy. I have realised if i want to use them then some filing of the brake callipers and the bolt hole in the front fork would be needed.
