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.

You can also rearrange the spacers on the axle to center the hub, then redish the wheel. Again, this means you have to have the tools and understand the workings of a wheel. It's pretty easy to do, though.
