Im in the process of building a Saracen Ariel 60 frame 29r flavour,it has soooper boost rear(all new to me)
Are there any good deals on Wheels/rims currently.
TIA.
You might find a bargain set of 157mm DH wheels to fit, which is the same hub spacing as super boost
To be honest I wouldn't be too fussy hunting around for a deal, get what's in stock as it might not be tomorrow. especially with loads of those frames making their way into the hands of punters over the next few weeks.
Nukeproof wheels on Chain reaction would be a reasonable shout. They seem to a) have a 157 option and b) be in stock.

Isn’t the brake spacing different though? I lose track...
157 DH wheels will fit, the hub flanges are closer together though.
Thanks for the heads-up guys
I’m currently trying to find some super boost wheels for a Evil Following and finding the choice is very limited due to obscure sizing, Covid and Brexit.
Hope do their pro 4 hub in super boost sizing their wheels are slightly on the heavy side but ok for the money. Or you could do a custom wheel set with the hope hubs.
Superstar also offer super boost hubs so a wheel set build through them.
DT Swiss make their hubs in the correct sizing too but I can only find it in stock in Europe but non of the shops in stock will ship to the UK.
I have hunt carbon superboost wheels. Cracking value, lifetime warranty too
I've had the same problem jairaj,hence the forum help.
I had completely forgot about SS Components,I've had(still)a custom wheelset in the past that served me well on a sc nickel, unfortunately they're freehub sizes look out of stock for 12spd.
Hope,yes but I'm impatient and it'll be a bit of a wait for me as build time would run into Easter,something for the future as 2/4 bikes are Hope hubs/rims.
I'll pull the trigger on the nukeroof Horizon for now(as mentioned above),their sure to be more than capable for my riding,can't see reliability being a problem as I don't ride half as much as I should.Hoping things will change there.
Cheers Jedi.
