Any one used one of these boost adapter kits to use a 142mm hub in 148mm hub spacing frame? Obviously you don't get the benefit of wider hub/wheel build but it's cheaper than a new rear hub and a rebuild.
Do they work ok spacing etc wise without undue issue with disk rotor spacings etc?
Any recommendations on any to use / avoid?
someone has helpfully refreshed an old boost topic which has helped answer some questions, though now I’m not sure about re-dishing etc!
I use them on DTswiss EX1700 wheels (rear only as I'm using non-boost forks), works perfectly. Took about 5 minutes to fit, and 10 minutes to re-dish the wheel.
I've used a kit that is 2 3mm spacers and a spacer for the disc with longer bolts. Works perfectly and no dishing.
Yep, I have both a set of hopes, and a set of dt 350 hubs changed to boost, no problems with either.
