Ah, QR front needed too? Dang, probably not convertible
I’ve found a Novatec qr hub with xd on Aliexpress for not much more than the ztto hub, so the build your own option is getting more tempting. Would just need to wait for the hub to turn up and then order spokes locally.

There will be an online spoke calculator if you know model, and rim.

Adaptable maybe?

Novatec would be perfectly fine for a commuter.
Which model hub is it? I've built a couple of wheels with Novatec hubs and have a notebook with dimensions (flange diameter, locknut to flange, etc). The online calculators don't always have Novatec listed, not since I last looked anyway.
I usually plug in the numbers manually here:

Damn, just looked at my notebook and I've only built a D882SB rear.
If you can decipher the explosion diagram here, you could use the dimensions in the aforementioned spoke calculator link.
Thanks for that. I was able to get the measurements no problem and get the details I need.

I’m keen on the self build; looks like I’m going to make my first aliexpress purchase a decent one.
