To convert a hub you just need an axle and 20MM worth of spacers.
I’ve always just bought front hubs and converted them myself, I’ve bought the Velosolo spacers once or twice, they do make a nicer job of it than just stacking random washers!
There’s other brands doing bolt on cogs, think Bikepunx do them, Hope made them for a brief period, maybe Gusset?
I’d get a Bikepunx one next time I need one I think, I have a chainring and a ss cassette type sprocket from then that are both pretty nice. Stainless so no coating to worry about.

I stripped the lockring threads on one hub. While skidding the lockring just blew off twice and ripped the threads with the lockring. I‘ve used two different types of lockrings: the Novatec one which came with the hub and a Dura Ace one.
I used to grease the threads on the hub maybe that was wrong? (https://dynamicbikecare.com/product/carbon-assembly-paste-5g/)
I do kinda like the Idea of a converted XT-hub? What parts do I need if I want to convert the hub by myself and save a few quid? If the VeloSolo cog sucks maybe there is another vendor/option/version of a bolt on style cog?
