I am looking to convert a Novatec 771 hub to be used with a boost fork. Â I can't find any adaptors specific to Novatec but wondered if anyone has had any success with a generic kit?
Does it require a spacer and a re-dish to align the rim to the middle of the extended hub?
Cheers, Rich
I've used a cheap one from ebay for a rear hub, it came with two spacers and a rotor spacer so no dishing was required. Doesn't give the best chainline, though that won't effect you.
Other annoyance is that every time you remove the wheel the two smaller spacers do fall out.
The spacers falling out is the biggest problem with universal adaptors I think. So long as the wheel has a spacer increase on both sides there should be no need for re-dish.
So for the front it would space out 5mm either side of the hub and also space out the rotor 5mm?
