Well, when I did my conversion last fall I put on longer chainring bolts and some spacers to move the inner chainring closer to the bb centerline. Then the chainline was perfect for my NR hub previously set-up for an old 5 speed (126mm) hub.
So the conversion cost were for the cog, bb lockring, locktite and longer chairing bolts and spacers; hardly the cost of an entry level FG bike.
