Yes, it can be fixed with spacers but likeAfter converting my 24mm spindle crank from a 2x to a 1x I noticed a considerable gap on the drive side. Can this be overcome with spacers, and if so, how many is too many?

Everything make it back on the spindle?
How tight did you make it? 50nm is 1, maybe 2 grunts tight with a 10" wrench.
Ok, so the mystery has been solved. When I went to look back at the spider I pulled off, stuck in the middle of the center direct mount opening was a 2mm spacer.
I fit it back in on the drive side and everything now is right as rain.
Thanks to everyone for the help. Maybe now you guys can help talk me into... or out of swapping out my QR rear axle with a 10mm thru axle.
