[Closed] Hope front boost adapter - how do they work

apparently these work without re-dishing the wheel

I don't see how that can work but if Hope say they do I believe them. Can anyone explain how? I'd have thought putting a spacer in the non disc side would throw the wheel off centre

it says "the wheel does need to be dished over to be central in the forks"

Fits into non disc side of the hub and converts 15mm x 100 non boost hubs into 15 x 110 boost

The wheel does need to be dished over to be central in the forks..

is in the description below the picture.

I've got one of these sat in my garage waiting for me to build my bike up, standard wheel in boost forks...

This doesn't need redishing as it puts 5mm either side and spaces the disk out

thanks mr jmt - that looks a neat solution. I suppose you just need to be careful not to lose a spacer!

Those mtzoom (and other equivalents) are fine but lining up the bloody spacers is a faff. I'd rather redish - only takes a couple of mins.

only takes a couple of mins.

...and makes your wheel (slightly) stronger, as the redishing makes the rim more central in relation to the hub.

Is it even worth dishing it for 5mm?
