I’d like to try my plus wheels on my 29 anthem.
Am I going to have to get a wheel made or is there some dark corner of the internet where such a wheel lurks?

Dt Swiss XM551's? Got a pair on my Stooge with Hope Pro2 qr hubs. Haven't tried any others but these are holding up well so would recommend. Not sure if they do a prebuilt version.

I know it'll come down to tyre choice but I wonder if you might get some chain/tyre interference fitting a plus tyre into a 135mm OLD frame?

Will probably be ok with a 2.8, 3 would likely give chain tyre interface.

@zippykona I've a set of dt 350s with 36t ratchet on wtb i40s to sell. Hubs are non boost but fitted with MRP better boost front and wolf tooth boostinstor rear kits. With a slight redish and qr end caps the rear would do what you wanted.

Well pointed out Mr routes especially as I have a stealth granny ring. On my boost bike it's a bit tight.
Money saved!

CRC were selling heavily discounted 142/100mm Hope Pro 4s with Race Face 40mm rims last year. Hopes convert easily with an end cap swap.

See if anyone is selling theirs on eBay?
