Hi

I've an old non boost mtb and I've managed to get hold of some boost rigid forks to replace the original suntour forks.

As my current front wheel is non boost I can either...

1. Buy a kit so the wheel will fit the fork, or
2. Buy a boost front wheel

I should say this is a project of love so I don't want to invest lots of cash on an old bike. I'm using the bike as a voyage of discovery for bike maintenance.

With that I've been looking on eBay for a cheap boost front wheel. There are some but I have zero knowledge on wheels and what would be ok or rubbish.

Any help would be much appreciated but here's a couple I spotted -

There seem to be a few cheap boost front wheels on eBay but I've no idea what would be ok.

Thanks

If this is a voyage of discovery you could switch over the hub. If very lucky you might find one that means you can keep the current spokes.

Neither of those eBay wheels mention boost?

Superstar were doing cheap wheels recently but I'd just get adapters if you don't remove the wheel too often.
