You could using a converter kit to slide on on the freehub. But youd still need the rear mech if you plan to use the front gears so the chain slack is taken up. Why not dump the front chainrings, and keep the cassette?0

because my cranks with the chain rings are nice and new, also i'm getting new wheels so i thought i could change it to different hub or something. Plus my front gears and back brake are on the same shifter and i can just get rid of the other 1 seeing as i dont have a front brake0

Only way you can do it is as specified in my 1st post. You could get a screw on hub and single cog, but every time you change at the front the chainline will skew. Nobody runs this set up and for a very good reason!0

a converter kit would give me spacers aswell i supose so i could try single speed
if i was to do that do you know whether it would be better to use a 32t or 44t front chain ring0 -
Depends on what gear ratio you want. Some very good resources on google (and on this site) about singlespeed.0
