I've done the fixed version of that. A 17/21 Surly Dingle cog with 40/32, 42/39 and 44/40 rings. 15t cog on the flip side. 32x21 is a great steep dirt road gear.
The stock QB (I think the Simpleone only has one ring) chainrings of 40/32 would give you a better gear range with the White freewhee, but with more axle movementl: 68" + 46" vs. 65" + 50" I would prefer 42/32, for a 46" low and a 72" high. If you're planning a very fat (for the bike) tire, you'll need to pick ratios with minimal axle movement. Same if you need a precise fender line.
