ahhh i see, weld it, i would just makes sure 2 chains will have enough clearance to sit side by side tho without catchin on each other. should be okay but doesnt hurt to check first.

did they ever make a 3 speed hub with a thread on freewheel ? if so you could use a double cog freewheel.

i guess it wont hurt to weld it :)
 
wait!
before you weld it...

i was thinking about this at work...
i think the 2nd ring actually needs to be welded on the hub itself for the gearing to work... other wise it will just be a 1:1 jackshaft...

does this make sense?

yeah he's right !!!

i was thinkin about the easiest way to attach it, but you wont be able to take advantage of the shifting if you just weld it to the cog, wheel will only go as fast as you can pedal
 
he wants to have 3 speed gearing while using a 140 spoke wheel...
so he is trying to use the 3 speed hub as a jackshaft.
it would need to be set up like it would be on a trike.

here are pics of a trike 3speed rear... see how the 2nd ring is attached to the hub flange... that is what i meant in my above post...
