Hey there! This is my fixie project on a QR frame. I afraid this is the closest I can get to rideable without ordering a bunch of new chainrings and cogs. Do you think 1T bigger cog will fit looking on this? Or is it fine as it is now? No plans for skidding or riding 40 km/h, it’s going to be a commuter bike for riding around. Both brakes will be installed.

38×17 now (got the chainring and the cog for free), was going to convert to 40×15 or 40×16 if it fits.
Tireless wheels the next trend?
I wouldn’t ride that slack as a SS let alone fixed.
Just riding up or down a curb and your chain could fall off.
Everytime you reverse direction on the pedals to slow down or whatever the chain ring will move freely until the slack pulls tight
Why do you need this bike to be fixed? How many bikes do you have?
The money you’d be pouring into this in the hopes the components work would be much better spent towards a used and thrashed fixed gear commuter.
Half link chain may help.
But I don’t think it’s a good idea to ride this frame fixed.
Multiple triggers in this image. But answering your question. How much do you value safety? I would not ride this slack
