Converting Merlin TR
Looking to convert my Merlin tr to a single speed. I am goin to use an eno hub. The part that confuses me is ensuring the correct chain line. How do I ensure the correct chain line, what are my options?

I have an ENO hub and it works with a typical road double crankset. I think the chainline is 47.5mm

I think that will work. Got any recommendations on where I can get a rear wheel built.
