Will a rear hub with a thread for a single speed freewheel fit in the front fork of a mountain bike with front suspension? I want to do a front wheel motor mount with a Currie style motor.
Weird question

Should be 35mm too wide, unless it was a wide fat bike fork.
See my Delta Tripper thread for how I used a BMX rear wheel with singlespeed freewheel in a front (BMX) fork.
EDIT: added:
Assuming the BMX wheel would fit in your existing fork, along with the freewheel for it,, but the wheel is too small for you, then you could simply build a new wheel out of that hub and your preferred rim.
If the hub fits but not the freewheel, then usea thread-on sprocket without freewheel, and put the freewheel on the motor end of things.
