Convert XT hub to solid axle ?
I've got a Surly 1x1 converted from SS to 1x8 with a XT hub w/QR. And I'd like to convert to a solid axle. Can I do this with a Shimano hub?

Sure
they're just a loose ball cup and cone hub, where one end is on the end of the cassette driver, just get a long enough 10x1 axle.
or at least that was true last time I took one apart .. been some years back..
Try it.

Thanks for the tips and advice. I was hoping BF would come thru for me.
Your going to have to be a little clearer. We were talking about solid axles. I don't know what a derailleur hanger has
to do with that.
to do with that.
