Yes that would have been nice to do it that way, and more affordable. However Rohloff's don't have a "through" axle, they use what's called an axle plate and the nub of the axle is attached to that. So not possible to use any spacers at all.
Wait, why should spacers not be possible then ?
I might miss something, but the easiest i could think of are Washers.
-> sure 155mm(QulbixDropout) - 135mm(Rohloff Standardwidth) =20mm/2 = 10mm on each side.
so taking those 10mm from each side of these "Nubs" would not leave enough "meat" for the cap-nut then, was that your concern ?
Edit: Just found out that the total axle width of the Standard TS Hub is either 171 or 179mm so that would not leave much lets say 155+2x7mm(Dropoutplate width) =169mm so really not enough to put the Nut on.

I`m actually really staring at the "untrue-thru-axle-version" from Rohloff with either 142 or 148mm.
found out on the website that the Bolts from both sides are M7 (A12) Titan, so that would just need some 10->7mm reduction at the Qulbix Dropouts.
sure they wanna tell us that it is rocket science to find the right versions Shimano,syntace,.....of the bolts and axle adapters.
But with some modifications on the Dropouts and some lathework that might be the best solution for me, with the thought on using this super expensive Hub on any other MTB od DH Bike later.
But i have not seen the Price of the Thru-axle-version yet , just visioning ?

So the Fatbike Hubs are much more expensive? how much did it cost you ?
i think the standard one is around 1100€.
and used standard 10mm axle ones are availeable for about 500-700€
Fatbike, or Thruaxle ones might take some years to get them used unless there might not be many out there right now
greets, and thanks for inspiration
