For completeness of information: So I split the front wheel with the DT Swiss boost hub (M1700 27.5). At some point it will want building into the front 29er wheel as thats a Bontrager hub and who has them longer term :smile: That rim I can locate but lost the hub!! Tye rear boost M1700 hub with XD ...

Watch this space ☺️ I will although it seems a cr@ppy idea. :lol: :lol: We all love in a land of confusion. To be honest, with the M1700 Boost Hub (yes, its 27.5) I couldn't be bothered trying to figure out spoke lengths as my Wheel builder book is too old to have needed to go into that. Plus, Alle...

Another option I suppose is to get a bit of a mullet setup going on. Not sure how we'll the geometry of the Santa's Cruz Highball would take it though as its supposed to be a 29er! I have a boost M1700 rear wheel in XD (yes, I tried the adaptors, theyre exactly same size as what's in the DTSwiss 35...

Hopefully not Stu. Just sounded good and they're not connected. That guy explained what happened on there like so (in case it might have similar trends!) https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/396550/

I'm told that it's looking like a hack job. I await further info.

Might just be that time of year but LFGSS owner put out a thread about how they just got hqcked
Just 6 days ago!

I thought James was about to put his firm forward

Yes, good point and I guess it wouldnt be a bad thing as long as it didnt start looking like YT. An ad a minute or whatnot. Never really looked at a brand helping out without making it all look like you're in an edition of MBR (back in the day) with Specialized plastered everywhere. Very good point ...

I just checked. Yes, seems its x directory for paying members only?

' do you think this was lost in translation Yes but will double check as i will measure both tonight when i get home My 142 got converted from pawls to ratchet and then i put that removed pawl one on my 148 hub(xd freehub) neither required end cap changes so i assume all freewheels are the same ......

John, when woltooth talks about 'only suitbale for ratchet type' do you think this was lost in translation from American to British and they actually meant not suitable for ratchet/XD type hub. Javatime, yes... Thats how I have always viewed chainline. Basically the best line of both sides of the ca...

Thanks for that info Gian. Yes, I was avoiding the Boostinator for that same reason as it (Wolftooth info) suggested that the caps they were selling only work with the ratchet type freehub. I dont plan to use the ratchet at all. Looking at https://www.dtswiss.com/en/support/product-support?matnr=H35...

Thanks for that update Alex...

NB. Im gonna guess that youre talking superboost standards maybe and this kit https://fawkes-cycles.co.uk/dt-swiss-rear-wheel-kit-for-142-mm-12-mm-and-157-12-mm-adaptors-p25982/s56213?utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=dt-swiss-rear-wheel-kit-for-142-mm-12-mm-and-157-12-mm-adaptors-hbdt2193c&utm_campai...

Yes, back peddling is what used to annoy me on the Sonder. In lowest gear it never used to like it. It was boost but I had a standard crank on it AFAIR. Decisions decisions...

Doesnt look like they do a conversion kit for it and nor do I fancy spending £40 odd qui They actually do and 5 sec google reveals it costs 36.50 (CHF), so about 30 - 35 quid at your end. Yes, chainring will have to give the right chainline. This (what type of chainring) depends on your frame and c...

I use non boost cranks on my Scott genius which has boost rear wheel. These are double cranks but I just use them with a single ring. The only issue I’ve had is that the max front ring I can use is 34 instead of 36 (the 36 fouls the chain stay). Thanks for this RD... I have a 32 on the xtr/non boos...

Yes spacer each side and spacer for disc with longer bolts (could probably have sent you one )

You actually had a boost conversion set John available to sell. I should kick myself!

Thanks John. Yes, need to redish and add that adaptor. Hoping it arrives soon enough. The ebay kits, do they come with longer bolts and rotor adaptor too (I shouldve checked really as it couldve saved money/time).

Thanks again

Bought this in eu. Hopefully sorted now. Just need to redish...

Thanks John. You might be right about getting an ebay kit (but something makes me worry about safety) ma be the only option. Or maybe get the conversion kit for the Hope Pro2 Evo then rebuild that into this 29er rear wheel!! https://i.imgur.com/u6QuYxX.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aSsnqgA.jpg Regards the...

Looks like a Boostinator by Wolftooth would do the trick if it was a ratchet hub. But mine is not (and nor are they in stock anywhere!). Oh dear..

Another option I suppose is to get a bit of a mullet setup going on. Not sure how we'll the geometry of the Santa's Cruz Highball would take it though as its supposed to be a 29er! I have a boost M1700 rear wheel in XD (yes, I tried the adaptors, theyre exactly same size as what's in the DTSwiss 350...

Thanks for looking (and responding). I have a slight problem. Assume the rear wheel I had bought and been saving to build the Santa Cruz, turns out not to be a boost. The hub is a 6 bolt DTSwiss 350. Looks to be a 15mm thru axle and 142mm across. Been on the DT Swiss site where you can find spare pa...

How much longer left for Allen then do you reckon Bob. Best guesstimates, with all being well and him not lounging too much... Thanks... Go Allen, go

Thanks Mart. I often think I'm a bit of a wierdo (others would just give and not enforce it on the others :lol: ) but I'm glad you're with me on this one. Spotify and the amount of ads I have to endure, really it'd be bordering on torcher (torture even) if we had to endure that on here. Bearbones200...
