Re: how to convert 142mm x 15mm DT Swiss 350 rear 6 bolt hub to boost standard!?
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...

Re: how to convert 142mm x 15mm DT Swiss 350 rear 6 bolt hub to boost standard!?
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...

Re: how to convert 142mm x 15mm DT Swiss 350 rear 6 bolt hub to boost standard!?
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...

Re: how to convert 142mm x 15mm DT Swiss 350 rear 6 bolt hub to boost standard!?
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...

You actually had a boost conversion set John available to sell. I should kick myself!Yes spacer each side and spacer for disc with longer bolts (could probably have sent you one )

Re: how to convert 142mm x 15mm DT Swiss 350 rear 6 bolt hub to boost standard!?
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
Thanks again

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...

Re: how to convert 142mm x 15mm DT Swiss 350 rear 6 bolt hub to boost standard!?
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..

Re: rear wheel dilemma (boost/axle stuff)
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!

how to convert 142mm x 15mm DT Swiss 350 rear 6 bolt hub to boost standard!?
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...

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.

Right then, after the little one had ridden the heck out of his tyres to almost complete baldness, we decided to pop the brakes (well, rear only so far) on the Carrera and get him rolling.
