Evening all.

I'd like to spend some money on Mrs Teadrinkers bike, it's a Trek X caliber or similar, I can't recall off the top of my head.

The wheels are boost 141, so my question is what upgrades are available? Bike is 2018 if that helps. Thanks in advance.

Any Boost (148mm) hub or wheel that has convertible endcaps like DT or Hope will work if you remove the 148x12 endcaps, and fit the relevant QR endcaps.

Same as you do with 135 QR and 142x12 hubs, only you need one with a 6mm wider shell - the Boost type.

I replaced the wheels on a Trek with QR141 for a friend and went for Hope Boost hubs and switched the end caps for QR ones - worked perfectly and meant if he changes frame the wheels should be interchangeable!
