Shaftie wheel on a chain driven bike?

[550T]

Specifically can a shaftie wheel be used on a chain driven set up? Im assuming the wheel itself is the same regardless. Forgive my ignorance. I searched, but didn't come up with an answer.

Thanks!

Front wheel probably.
Rear wheel no.

And I wouldn't try to make it work either.

If you need a rear wheel for a chain drive setup I am sure there are plenty in garages of forum members. I've got a 16" rear chain drive from a 750L I'd part with for a few dollars.

Post in the parts wanted section for one..
