Sorry about this, very new to this stuff.
Is there are difference between a 29er wheel hub and a regular hub?
The reason I ask is because I am still debating whether to go 29er (I am very new to the sport so don’t want to make any rash decisions) but I’ve been looking at upgrading the wheels on the 26″ full sus. I was just wondering if I did get some nice hubs and decided I wanted to go 29 would it be a case of new rims and new spokes or is there anything specific about the hubs?
Thanks

Yes, you have to buy 29’er specific hubs! 😉

No. Normal hubs, silly rims.

Thats why I asked, I saw that there were 29er specific hubs with stronger flanges or something but wondered if they were necessary!

Second part of the question, if I got a set of DT swiss 29er wheels with m520 rims and wanted to change the rims over to stans crest am I going to be able to re-use the same spokes?

Just discovered the answer to why Shimano did bring out “29er specific hubs”… Not that you need them necessarily.
