Long story short, I don't think so.
A bolt on derailleur hanger won't work. The hanger is designed with a tang
that slips into a horizontal dropout so it won't rotate. With a vertical
dropout, there's no room for the bolt on hanger. Even if there were, it
would be at the wrong angle. Here's a

The White Industries rings are most likely 3/16's. I don't remember them

In addition to Steve's mention of the wear factor on the 24, another good

leaving the front on the granny. The chain can be pretty slack

what's more, the range isn't as good as you can get with two chain rings.
