Do you mean using the rear sprocket that your drive chain is on as a disc brake rotor?
I don't know if it's done, but it seems like it would get grease on it from the chain, wouldn't it?

It's possible but not likely enough for any real ill effect,it has been done and was used by some manufacture's in eurpoe so that the bracket for caliper mount was a gusset between the stays and worked ok.

LOL. You haven't seen my rear sprocket after I oil my chain.

I might look into this to supplement the coaster brake on my old cruiser. Interesting.
