Afternoon

So I've a 29 frame and wheels but they are a non boost pair not wanting to go down the dishing route what are my options ?
There's some Epixon on fleabay for £200 and some X-Fusion slide for £320 is there any others ?
Cheers

There should* be plenty of options on forks but the easiest is a cheap set of adapters (2x5mm spacer and 5mm disc spacer) no need to dish if you don't want to (though it's not as scary as it sounds)

*plenty being more than 3 or 4 but a lot will be budget ones.

You can get boost adapter kits that don't require dishing..

Aye. It’s a 5 minute job to convert any wheel. Why limit the fork choice or wheel options in the future...? Buy boost!

If you can't get a boost kit for the front wheel (no dishing really needed if the kit is done properly) then the wheel is probably not worth worrying about.

Buy a boost fork IMO.

What travel you after? Going to be getting rid of a set of 160 yari in non boost soon. Used but in good condition and serviced fairly recently.

I just use the cheap adaptors in my boost fork.
