You can fit it howver only half of the freewheel is threaded. Not ideal but I’ve run it. Does fine in my experience.

It’s in your hand. Try.

No. The MX30 is a different system and smaller diameter. You’ll need a different freewheel with an inner diameter of 1.37 x 24 tpi to thread onto that. That smaller diameter on that hub design is for the fixed gear “Lockring” and will not fit your freewheel onto that.

Is that side of the hub not for a fixed cog and lock ring? If so, and if the other side is also a fixed cog, then you’ve got fixed/fixed hub.

Just send it.
She’ll be biting on plenty of meat.
Should be good enough for who it’s for.

A lot of people say no don’t do it, but it threads on and will be fine as long as you don’t cross thread. If those threads are able to hold a fixed gear, do you think they’ll hold a freewheel as well?
I’ve had one on my commuter for years now with no issues at all.

Yes it’s fine. A fixed cog uses the same amount thread.

Sadly not. I had these hubs before and can confirm that with the freewheel fully tightened on, it rests against the spoke heads and scrapes. You can get away with this on high flange hubs on a fixed thread though!

Same thread. Have done it many times.

In theory, yes, it does cause stress on the threads.
It has nothing to to with the number of threads, but from where the cog the freewheel is located.
The teeth are not entered over the larger threads the same way a tack cog is.
This causes the freewheel to pry ever so slightly sideways.
I say “in theory “ because most people do not possess the leg strength to pry it hard enough to tug (not spin) against the threads. Strong AF mofo’s can, but in reality, most of us cannot.
The other reason is a lot of good freewheels have a thinner body, so the cog doesn’t sit over the lock ring portion of the hub. Cheap ass freewheels are wide and have poor threading.
So yea, this is just a long winded way of saying you’re fine with this set up.
If you do rip it off, you are strong AF and should consider racing and winning that sweet racing swag .

Yes, people do it all the time. The freewheel will thread on the outer threads just fine. You can run two freewheel on the hub this way. I hear people use a 16t and 18t. Make sure the tooth count on each freewheel does not exceed teo or three teeth because the dropouts only give you so much space before the chain becomes too short or long to work with both freewheels.
