Suicide is not that risky - if you don't skid and run a brake
and get it on real tight with a BB lockring behind it.Alternatively, If you don't really care about the current wheels why not just stick a fixed cog on with some Loctite - so that it will NEVER EVER come off.
If you later need to change cogs /wheels replace the Hub / Wheel then?
I'd say thats the cheapest option?

i've had a couple of stuck stems - Aluminium Stem in a steel frame. they just dont' come out.
there are heaps of threads abotu them on bikeforums.net
I know someone who 'dissolved' a stuck stem by sawing off the top so you can get the fork out and then soaking the enitre fork in Super strength Draino - apparently it will Eat the Aluminium but will not touch the paint or steel.

Loctite: Red High-Strength No. 271, 262, 266, 268, 272, 277 & 2760 - Used on things that you don't want to take apart for a long time. It requires heat from a torch or iron (to 250° C) to loosen its grip. It cures into a thicker, sticky bond that holds up better against vibration and shocks. Preferably to be used with automotive and mechanical operation such as nuts and bolts on Cars, Motorbikes, Ski-doo's and Boats.
next time I do an on-the-cheap conversion....
